Converting ObservableCollection as IEnumerable returns null





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

After the following code has been executed:



ObservableCollection<int> temp = new ObservableCollection<int>() { 1 };
IEnumerable<object> items = temp as IEnumerable<object>;


items is null, why is this, ObservableCollection implements the IEnumerable interface and everything inherits from object in c#?



What am I missing?

  • Consider changing the second line to IEnumerable<object> items = temp.Cast<object>();

  • @mjwills: That would work. The interesting part is why the covariant conversion from IEnumerable<int> to IEnumerable<object> does not work.

  • Agreed @Sefe. You should post one of the (many!) links on that topic as a duplicate. Perhaps stackoverflow.com/questions/12454794/… ?
