Re: [DotGNU]pnetlib on Visual Studio

[Ian Game]

Guys,

I'm doing a build from the project supplied by Neil Cawse (thanks) and
have the following problem.

In Control.cs, there is a cast from the enum type 'Keys' to type 'char'
to pass as an argument to 'KeyPressEventArgs(...)'

One way of fixing is this:

args2 = new KeyPressEventArgs((System.Convert.ToChar(msg.key)));

to make it compile. Sorry but I'm a bit new to C# and from the
documentation it says that a cast can be implicit if no data loss occurs
or explicit as the original code thus:

args2 = new KeyPressEventArgs((char)(msg.key));

Another way is this:


args2 = new KeyPressEventArgs((char)(int)(msg.key));

..which is telling us that there is a cast explicitly from enum to int
(enum which is int anyway by default), then from int to char, and this 
works but looks messy.


Is there something in the MS compiler that's different?
My version is a bit old:
        Microsoft Visual C# .NET   55603-652-0000007-18026

Using cscc it works fine (without the extra casts) so is the MS compiler 
at fault here?

Thanks

Ian
