Hi there another quick question.

I would like to create a variable object so that depending on the value of something, it gets cast as needed. e.g.

var rule;
switch (seqRuleObj.RuleType) {
                case SeqRuleObj.type.Pre :
                    rule = new preConditionRuleType();
                    rule = (preConditionRuleType)seqRuleObj.Rule;
                    break;
                case SeqRuleObj.type.Post :
                    rule = new postConditionRuleType();
                    rule = (postConditionRuleType)seqRuleObj.Rule;
                    break;
                case SeqRuleObj.type.Exit :
                    rule = new exitConditionRuleType();
                    rule = (exitConditionRuleType)seqRuleObj.Rule;
                    break;
                default :
                    break;
            }
            String result;
            foreach (sequencingRuleTypeRuleConditionsRuleCondition cond in rule.ruleConditions.ruleCondition) {

      ....../ blah
}

so basically this will not work. c# will not allow me to create an new object in every case as the name is aleady defined.

i can just paste the foreach loop into each case but that to me is such a waste, as the objects are exactly the same in all but name.
