We are haveing a debate here at work regarding the the most performant \ efficient \ best way of dealing with the casting of objects from one form to another.
a) One person thinks that casting the object to the correct type each time it is used is better because casting has a compile time penalty, but at runtime does not incurr a cost. b) The other person would have us believe that the creation of a variable of the correct type and casting the object to it and then using the local variable (thereby eliminating many casts)is better. I side with a) on the basis that the creation of the variable and the garbage collection of it costs more than the casting might. Bearing in mind that either of these methods might be performed in hundreds of places in the application. Is there a difference ? Will any one notice. Is one better ?. Are we being a little to retentive ? thanks BOb -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
