In Discord.NET, the idea of polymorphism is used throughout. You may |
|
|
|
need to cast the object as a certain type before you can perform any |
|
|
|
action. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to cast, with direct casting |
|
|
|
`(Type)type` being **the least recommended**, as it *can* throw an |
|
|
|
[InvalidCastException] when the object isn't the desired type. |
