WAIT, MADE A MISTAKE...

It's the CurrencyManager.List that casts, but I still don't get it.

int rowCount = (currManager.List as DataView).Count;

I neither understand why it works for you.<br />

I get a compile-time error in Visual Studio 2005:<br />
Cannot convert type 'System.Windows.Forms.Curr<wbr />encyManage<wbr />r' to 'System.Data.DataView' via a built-in conversion<br />

I don't see how that works, but it does. I know this is really simple, but looking at the class heirarchy for these objects, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I don't quite understand why this code works... simple, but I just don't get it.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
