Is it possible to cast a List<Subclass> to List<Superclass> in C# 4.0?
Something along these lines:
class joe : human {}
List<joe> joes = GetJoes();
List<human> humanJoes = joes;
Isn't this what covariance is for?
if you can do:
human h = joe1 as human;
why shouldn't you be able to do
List<human> humans = joes as List<human>;
than it wouldn't be legal to do (joe)humans[0] because that item has been down casted.. and everyone would be happy. Now the only alternative is to create a new List
