Get value from object

none

if i have:

Point a = new Point(10,10);
Object b = (object)a;

how can i get values (10 and 10) from 'b' object?

somthing like this:
Point c = new Point();
c.X = B.X;

in my case, i need to return a Point value... and in pseudocode is:

return (System.Drawing.Point)b;

or some hints please... thanks

Friend,

You can Convert string To point By PointConvert Class

using System.Drawing;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            PointConverter converter = new PointConverter();


          //Operation Needed to Perform Before converting String to Point

            string stringData = "{X=10, Y=10}".Replace("=",string.Empty).Replace("X",string.Empty).Replace("Y",string.Empty).Replace("{",string.Empty).Replace("}",string.Empty);

            //Convert to Point

            Point p = (Point)converter.ConvertFromString(stringData);

            //Use it

            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("X={0} and Y={1}", p.X, p.Y));

        }

that part was good, now i see what part was bad...

if i print out my point
Point a = new Point(10,10);
Conole.WriteLine(a.ToString());

// Result:
// {X=10, Y=10}

now... my first object read a string from a Point.
b contain {X=10, Y=10} but it`s a string object. now... how can i substract values from string object? something like "convert string to point"... I wanna know if there are some function for that or i have to made this alone

thanks again

Point a = new Pont(10,10);

object b = a; // YOU DONT NEED TO CAST a AS OBJECT. a IS ALREADY AN OBJECT

Point c = new Point( ((Point)b).X, ((Point)b).Y);

or

Point c = (Point)b; // YOU WILL GET A COPY OF b SINCE POINT IS A STRUCT (VALUE TYPE)

Your pseudo code was fine. Just need to place the appropriate parenthesis when casting.
