I've got two classes, MyClassA and MyClassB. MyClassB inherits from MyClassA. I've written a method with the following signature
public void DoSomething(MyGeneric<MyClassA> obj);
I've also got the following event handler.
public void MyEventHandler(Object source, EventArgs e)
{
//source is of type MyGeneric<MyClassB>
DoSomething((MyGeneric<MyClassA>)obj);
}
I understand that MyGeneric<MyClassA> is not of the same type MyGeneric<MyClassB> but since MyClassB is a subclass of MyClassA is there still a way to make this work?
For reference, the exact error message:
Unable to cast object of type 'MSUA.GraphViewer.GraphControls.TreeNode
1[MSUA.GraphViewer.GraphControls.MaterialConfigControl]' to type 'MSUA.GraphViewer.GraphControls.TreeNode1[MSUA.GraphViewer.PopulatableControl]'.
