We have a debate with one of my collegues, is it agood style to check, if the object of particular style, and then cast as this type. The perfect answer of Jon Skeet and answers in Cast then check or check then cast? confirmed my point.
//good
var coke = cola as CocaCola;
if (coke != null)
{
// some unique coca-cola only code
}
//worse
if (cola is CocaCola)
{
var coke = cola as CocaCola;
// some unique coca-cola only code here.
}
