Hi,
I have the following classes with an implicit cast operator defined:
class A
{
...
}
class B
{
private A m_a;
public B(A a)
{
this.m_a = a;
}
public static implicit operator B(A a)
{
return new B(a);
}
}
Now, I can implicitly cast A to B.
But why can't I implicitly cast A[] to B[] ?
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// compiles
A a = new A();
B b = a;
// doesn't compile
A[] arrA = new A[] {new A(), new A()};
B[] arrB = arrA;
}
Thanks, Malki.
