Why is casting faster than reflection in .NET?

Reflection is slow because you are querying the assembly's metadata whereas casting simply changes the type of the object you are referencing.

Reflection has to go at runtime and determine what properties etc. the object has at runtime. Casting tells the application that it should expect that an object has X properties and should function in a certain way.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
