Here[^] is a very good article about the different C++ cast operators.

For instance, they have different pages on MSDN Visual C++ Language Reference:

• static_cast
• dynamic_cast

You have to admit that it isn't easy to find this information. Not everyone knows that when you need the help of static_cast you need the c36yw7x9(VS.80).aspx page and for the dynamic_cast yoe need the cby9kycs(VS.80).aspx

It's called cryptographic help. ;P
