Complete list of .NET conversion statements

Question

Does anyone have a complete list of conversion operators for VB / C # and how do they differ?

I still know ...

• value as type [C #]
• TryCast (value, type) [VB]
• Convert.ToXxx (value) [any]
• (type) value [C #]
• CType (value, type) [VB]
• DirectCast (value, type) [VB]
• CXxx (value) [VB]
• CTypeDynamic [any]
• implicit conversions when using the Strict Off [VB] parameter
• implicit conversions when using dynamic [C #]
• value of type [F #]
• :> [F #]
• :? > [F #]

But, of course, just having a list is not the same as knowing the subtle differences between them.

Answer 1

F # # /, .

# F #? ( : )

, , .

( ,

type value

F #, , , ,

int 'a'

, int - F #, . . Docs ; T T, .)

F #:

• string → PrintfFormat ( typeafe printf)
• upcasts /, , . f(dog) person.Pet <- dog, Animal. , . let controls : Control list = [button; form; window]
• - , , . new Thread(fun() -> ()), F # ThreadStart.
• ref to byref , ref, . a out.
