if i have: Point a = new Point(1010); Object b = (object)a; how can i get values (10 and 10) from 'b' object? somthing like this: Point c = new Point(); c.X = B.X; in my case i need to return a Point value... and in pseudocode is: return (System.Drawing.Point)b; or some hints please... thanks

Friend You can Convert string To point By PointConvert Class using System.Drawing; private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { PointConverter converter = new PointConverter (); //Operation Needed to Perform Before converting String to Point string stringData = {X=10 Y=10} .Replace( =  string .Empty).Replace( X  string .Empty).Replace( Y  string .Empty).Replace( {  string .Empty).Replace( }  string .Empty); //Convert to Point Point p = ( Point )converter.ConvertFromString(stringData); //Use it MessageBox .Show( string .Format( X={0} and Y={1}  p.X p.Y)); } if my Answer Helps you then mark  Do you like this answer  please :)

that part was good now i see what part was bad... if i print out my point Point a = new Point(1010); Conole.WriteLine(a.ToString()); // Result: // {X=10 Y=10} now... my first object read a string from a Point . b contain {X=10 Y=10} but it`s a string object. now... how can i substract values from string object? something like convert string to point... I wanna know if there are some function for that or i have to made this alone thanks again

Point a = new Pont(1010); object b = a; // YOU DONT NEED TO CAST a AS OBJECT. a IS ALREADY AN OBJECT Point c = new Point( ((Point)b).X ((Point)b).Y); or Point c = (Point)b; // YOU WILL GET A COPY OF b SINCE POINT IS A STRUCT (VALUE TYPE) Your pseudo code was fine. Just need to place the appropriate parenthesis when casting.
