[osg-users] dynamic_cast equivalent in osgDotNet

[Christophe Medard]

That's just because what you do is strange : OsgGA.GUIActionAdapter isn' a 
child class of  OsgViewer.Viewer.

OsgViewer.View aa;
OsgViewer.Viewer viewer = aa as OsgViewer.Viewer;

as a valid example perfectly works.
Not only does the 'as' cast your aa OsgViewer.View reference to an 
OsgViewer.Viewer reference, but it also test the validity of such a cast, 
making viewer as null is something goes wrong.

Hope that helps.
