This is a really dumb question, but I have to ask. I heard somewhere
that the C# operation of boxing and unboxing, like
int i = 1;
object o = i; // boxing
int j = (int) o; // unboxing
was named in honor of Don Box of Microsoft (one of the COM deities).
I'll admit it sounds cool, but I've wondered whether it's actually an
urban legend. Are there any official sources either denying or
confirming this?
