What is this? A type of class casting or what

Mahmed Fetih

Please help! I'm studying C# on my own. Lots of the code, convention and jargons can be tackled easily and I'm able to understand it pretty easy. However, i came across this on my endeavor or my quest to study the best programming language. I've tried flipping books to find what is this thing called. anyway here is the code

((AClass)BClass.BProperties).AMethod(Parameter)

Is this a type of casting or perhaps a substitute of a variable of a particular class? thanks in advanced for your explanation

thank you

That line means that you start by getting BClass.BProperties and cast whatever object it returns to AClass.

You then use the resulting reference to AClass to call its AMethod() method and pass it the argument 'Parameter'.

You might find it easier to understand if you re-express it as follows:

AClass temp = (AClass)BClass.BProperties;
temp.AMethod(Parameter);
