I don't even think you need to cast it

You are right, you can use the implicit cast, but I don't think that is the question he meant to ask. Hopefully, by answering the question he did ask too explicitly, it will prompt him to ask the question in better english...
(Did that make sense?)

your not by any chance trying to work with automation of some type are you? I remember doing Word automation where they want object as params in functions and you have to set them as object instances outside of the function as they need referencing.

Variant, I know he wants a variant, I can't beleive linq has brought back the variant (var)

It hasn't. Although that's what I first thought when I came across var. 
When you do var x = from..., x is strongly typed (you may not know what its type is, but, whatever it is, you can't assign something of a different type to it unlike variants.)

Hi,

Thanks,

Hi everybody, I have a strange problem in a simple following C# code:
float x = 15.15F;
float y = 9F;
float ans = x-y;
the answer should be: 6.15F
the answer I get: 6.14999962
when I use debug mode, x = 15.15 like it should be, and y=9, only after the substraction it happens, and I don't want to use Math.Round and all the workarounds, it's simple substraction, it should give simple answer, if someone have any idea about a possible reason I would be thankful.
Thank you all.

floaters can be annoying like that... I mean floats!
check out the documentation on them in MSDN i'm sure you will get your answer. Comes to mind thou that I seem to remember reading the Decimal is much more reliable. Is that an option for you? Of course you will have to look at the information on that too to check I am not imaging reading that (it happens sometimes - you can ask the flying pig outside my window if you don't believe me  )

oink snort Decimal exists squeal hurumph.
Microsoft says:
The Decimal value type represents decimal numbers ranging from positive 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 to negative 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335. The Decimal value type is appropriate for financial calculations requiring large numbers of significant integral and fractional digits and no round-off errors.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction.

Works fine with decimal, thank you for the tip.
But it's very interesting why it's doesn't work with double and float, I don't understand why there's a difference.

I can't recall of top of head (and don't want to search either) but think is something to do with how it is stored in memory. But like I say sometimes things put themselves in my head, thou generally the truth is in there somewhere too

yeah... I seem to remember someone has... Oh Yeah! it was Microsoft 
I have no idea what you are talking about, can you provide link to a picture of what you mean, or a better description of where it can be seen in office, or maybe you could draw one using only ASCII characters 33 - 126 (inclusive)... now there's a challenge

... Damn, it's harder than it looks... Maybe if I create my own font I could do it with one character, what you think?

There is nothing built in. I assume that is why WPF[^] was created, to allow more flexible styles.
You could try either creating your own control or handling the drawing for the one that is already available. I'm sure there will be tutorials around for either of those two options.
