I heard somewhere that the C# operation of boxing and unboxing, like int i = 1; object o = i; // boxing int j = (int) o; // unboxing was named in honor of Don Box of Microsoft (one of the COM deities). I'll admit it sounds cool, but I've wondered whether it's actually an urban legend. Are there any official sources either denying or confirming this? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor. http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
