Hi fellow developers,

I have this error message: Cannot implicitly convert type 'Hotelplan.BO.Hotel' to 'Hotel'. The strange thing is that the code did build and did run until I tried to change the name of some other class (HotelplanManager to HotelplanRecManager). I'm trying to follow a design from Imar Spaanjaars (http://imar.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?quickdoc=416).

And yes, it's the same hotel-class.

Because I couldn't figure out what was going on I did make a new solution and designed everything for the second time. At first it did build and run and after renaming a class I got the error message again.
In trying to solve it I did remove all of the temporary files at C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temp orary ASP.NET Files but no result!

Who can help me?

thanks Leon

Hi, After "View in Browser" (and some hour of searching for a solution, restarting the computer ,deleting temp-files and still having the problem) it seems to work again ????

But it still intrigues me, anyone?

This seems like a fairly strange problem. Either the class is "Hotel" or it isn't. If it is, it should cast without a problem. What is the type of the variable you are trying to cast? Is would appear from your error message that it was an instance of 'Hotelplan.BO.Hotel'. Where is the type 'Hotel' defined? Is it possible that that name is also used in your web application? I've caught myself occasionally with a case like this: I have a "*.BO.Product" class, but I also have a "Product" class that is a web page class. So in the code where you try to cast type "object" to "Product" the compiler doesn't know you meant "*.BO.Product" instead of "MyWebApp.Product". The problem is the name ambiguity.

I tried a hint I got from a fellow developer and I fully qualified my hotel-instance. Succes! After reviewing the project I saw that you were very right Peter: I also have a page that is called: yes Hotel.aspx That must be it.

Thanks for your reaction Peter!
