强制类型转换、is、as

学习C#基础时的疑问，强制类型转换和as转换到底什么区别和联系。

首先，类型转换分为两大类：

1.依靠转换操作符完成类型之间的转换；

2.类型存在继承关系。

我们看一下代码案例：

   class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Person p = new Person();
            p.Name = "Person";
            Student s = new Student();
            s.Name = "Student";
            s.School = "Middle School";
            Worker w = new Worker();
            w.Name = "Worker";
            w.Company = "ABC Company";

            //as 
            p = s as Person;
            Console.WriteLine(p.Name);

            //is
            if (w is Person)
            {
                p = w as Person;
                Console.WriteLine(p.Name);
            }

            //强制类型转换
            s = (Student)w;
            Console.WriteLine(s.Name);

            Console.Read();
        }
    }

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

    class Student : Person
    {
        public string School { get; set; }

        public static explicit operator Student(Worker w)
        {
            Student s = new Student();
            s.School = w.Company;
            s.Name = w.Name;
            return s;
        }
    }
    class Worker : Person
    {
        public string Company { get; set; }

        public static explicit operator Worker(Student s)
        {
            Worker w = new Worker();
            w.Company = s.School;
            w.Name = s.Name;
            return w;
        }
    }

通过上面代码，我们可以得出三个结论：

1.没有继承关系时，依靠转换符进行转换；

2.有继承关系时，用as进行转换；

3.is进行继承关系容错。
