I recently changed from PHP to learn C#. I am trying to code a project for Bluetooth communication with framework 32feet. How to understand '(Stream)' in the code below? Thanks in advance!
private void ReadMessagesToEnd_Runner(object state)
{
Stream peer = (Stream)state;
ReadMessagesToEnd(peer);
}
This is called type casting. It changes a variables type (including the whole mess that happens if it wasn't actually of that type.). You should read a good book or tutorial on C# before you continue.
Your question is very vague, but I'll try my best to explain.
All classes are derived from Object in C#, thus any Object can be cast to any type. All the (Stream)state is doing above is taking the object state passed into the method and turning it into a Stream object.
If your question was actually asking what the Stream class is, please direct your attention to the Google search bar and type "C# Stream".
