RE: [rdnzl-devel] A question about CAST

Strange. Does that only happen for certain objects or always if you

try to cast something back and forth?

Only for certain objects, but I can reproduce it fairly easily:

RDNZL-USER(5): (import-types "System" "Net.WebClient") NIL RDNZL-USER(6): (setf w (new "System.Net.WebClient")) #<RDNZL::CONTAINER System.Net.WebClient #xda75ac8> RDNZL-USER(7): (cast w "System.Object") Error: .NET error (System.InvalidCastException): Object must implement IConvertible. [condition type: RDNZL-ERROR]

I didn't think of it as an issue; I just assumed it was some sort of .Net restriction.
