Cindy,

Since the type is unknown at compile time, you can't declare a
variable of that type. So there's no point in such a cast.

Can you be a little clearer on what you mean by dynamic class?

If you mean that you are dynamically "loading" a class, using its type name,
you can do a cast from object to type by either:
   typedvar = (type)objvar
   typedvar = objvar as type
But since you are dynimally loading the type, you must be in a situation
where the type is not available to you during compilation. In this case, you
will either have to use runtime reflection to access your members or bind to
a common interface

If you are dynamically generating the type, and then dynamically loading it,
you must use reflection or a predefined interface to access the type's members

Hope this helps

Thanks everyone! I found out I don't need to cast it at all.
