We have an old guidelines note to use IsAssignableFrom() followed by a hard cast as opposed to using the 'as' keyword followed by a check for null, but there is no explanation for why this approach should be used. There are also no comments on the 'is' keyword approach to casting. Can somebody please explain why?
I don't appear to be giving Google the right keywords because I'm not finding anything specific on this. This note was made in the .NET 1.1 days and this code base is now .NET 2.0 with the possibility of going to .NET 3.0 or 3.5 very soon.
