[RESOLVED] Casting an Object into a List of Objects (List of Lists)

[pel11]

In My VB.NET Code, it is apparent that VB.NET will allow an object that is essentially a List to be looped through while C# does not. Below is the VB.NET code:

Dim dicData As New SortedDictionary(Of Integer, List(Of Object))
For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of Integer, List(Of Object)) In dicData
   Dim mylist As New List(Of Object)
   mylist = kvp.Value
   For Each items In mylist  
     Dim x As Double = items(j - 2)   'Here, VB.NET "knows" each items is a List 
     Dim y As Double = items(items.count - 2)
     Dim z As Double = items(items.count - 1)
     '....
   Next
Next

The C# conversion is below, and Intellisense seems to have accepted it without errors (I have not run it yet).

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, List<object>> kvp in dicData)
{
   List<object> mylist = new List<object>();
   mylist = kvp.Value.Cast<object>().ToList();
   foreach (var items in mylist)
     {
       var mylist2 = items as IList; //Will this do the trick?
       double x = Convert.ToDouble(mylist2[j - 2]);
       double y = Convert.ToDouble(mylist2[mylist2.Count - 2]);
       double z = Convert.ToDouble(mylist2[mylist2.Count - 1]);
       //....
   }
}
