object conversion

Question

How do I convert an object back into an array of strings?

Here's the deal. I have some string vectors that I want to put on a stack. (No clue how to do that.) So I put them as objects into another vector and took them back out. OK so far, but I don't know how to get my string vectors back. The IDE thinks there's a method for it, but I can't find it.

Please help.

Jim

I'm confused. I thought that all the replies showed up on the object conversion thread. You should be able to find the question and answer there. The problem was converting an object back into string vectors. There's a great answer with lots of references. Yes the code works. You can step through it and watch the whole process. Sorry that the code didn't have any explanation. I meant to get back and annotate it but ... If you find this but can't find the thread I don't quite know what to do. I suppose I could paste it all together for another reply. Cheers Jim

I don't know what the question is. Does your test program work? Does it do what you need done?

Here's the code for my test program: namespace ObjectArrayTest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string[] OutStringVector0 = { a  b }; string[] OutStringVector1 = { c d }; Object[] OutboundObject = { OutStringVector0 OutStringVector1 }; object[] InboundObject = Loopback(OutboundObject); string[] InStringVector0 = (string[]) InboundObject[0]; string FirstString = InStringVector0[0]; } static object[] Loopback(object[] InputStuff) { return (InputStuff); } } }
