Tip3 区别对待强制转型as和is

Tip3 区别对待强制转型as和is
如果类型之间都上溯到了某个共同的基类，那么根据此基类进行的转型应该使用as。子类于子类之间的转型，则应该提供转型操作符，以便进行强制转型

    class FirstType
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    class SecondType
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public static explicit operator SecondType(FirstType firstType)
        {
            SecondType secondType = new SecondType() { Name = "转型自：" + firstType.Name };
            return secondType;
        }
    }

  FirstType firstType = new FirstType() { Name = "First Type" };
  SecondType secondType = (SecondType)firstType;         //转型成功
  //secondType = firstType as SecondType;     //编译期转型失败，编译不通过

        static void DoWithSomeType(object obj)
        {
            //SecondType secondType = (SecondType)obj;//若传入参数为FirstType对象，会引发异常
                                                      //因为编译器运行时会检查obj是不是SecondType，绕过了转换操作符
            SecondType secondType = obj as SecondType;
            if (secondType != null)
            {
                // do someting
            }
        }

若FirstType是SecondType的基类，则as和强转都可以用

        //is的用法
        static void DoWithSomeType(object obj)
        {
            if (obj is SecondType)
            {
                SecondType secondType = obj as SecondType;
                //do something
            }
        }
