Casting of int array into double array in immediate window?

Is it possible to cast int array into double array in immediate window? I tried to cast but somehow its not working. I would like to know that is it possible or not?

Solution

  • That cast is illegal. Just try to compile it and you will see that it doesn't work either.

    The following code will perform this conversion:

    var d = i.Select(x => (double)x).ToArray();

    Unfortunately, you can't use it in the immediate window because it doesn't support lambda expressions.

    A solution that doesn't require lambda expressions is the following:

    i.Select(Convert.ToDouble).ToArray();

    This could work because there is no lambda expression. Thanks to Chris for the idea.
