cast object[] as Type[] ?

[FocusedWolf]

Hi, i'm trying to write a function where i can do this:

private bool ParameterCheck(Type[] expected, object[] actual)
{
if (actual.Length != expected.Length)
return false;

        for (int i = 0; i < actual.Length; i++)
        {  
            if(actual\[i\] as expected\[i\] == null) //vs won't let me do this
                return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

The goal is to check if a object array is the same length and same type as some expected parameters.

Look at Type.IsInstanceOfType()

Brilliance. You would have thought that runtime would let you call the method and catch the exception :) (no language in the world should allow for that scenario)

I see them both wrong, see another one :)

You could, but them the method would not be called paramatercheck.

Bah, well, I made his code compile, didn't fix his problems. Call me an ugly patcher. ;)
