Type Conversion Help

[code?]

Okay, I want to know if you can do something like this, I have a parser and I'm trying to have less and less switch blocks and/or repetitive code.

So something like this. It errors out but can I do something similar?

object i = 5;
int j = 6;

(i.GetType())i += j;

Short answer is no. You cannot dynamically cast an object from a System.Type object. Now maybe if you can show us a sample of your switch blocks and/or repetitive code we can try to find another solution.
