[Pnet-developers] [bugs #11998] Problems with casting arrays, isinst, and the as operator

[James Michael DuPont]

Follow-up Comment #2, bugs #11998 (project dotgnu-pnet):

The workaround is to cast the object directly without as.
the test file shows that this works, and the data is preserved.
using System;

public class Testing
{
        public static void Main()
        {

                String foo = "fooo";
                Console.WriteLine(foo == null );

                object z= foo as object;
                Console.WriteLine(z == null );

                Array x = new string[1];
                x[0]=foo;
                Console.WriteLine(x == null );

                Console.WriteLine("raw");
                Console.WriteLine(x);

                Console.WriteLine("as object");
                Console.WriteLine(x as object[]);

                Console.WriteLine("cast ");
                Console.WriteLine((object[])x);

                Console.WriteLine("cast2 ");
                object[] y = (object[])x; 
                Console.WriteLine(y == null );
                Console.WriteLine(y);
                Console.WriteLine(y[0]);

                Console.WriteLine("cast as ");
                object[] z2 = x as object[]; 
                Console.WriteLine(z2 == null );

        }
}
