typecasting

hi,

can somebody please tell me what is the difference between the following two statements, because both of them give me the same results. Also i want to know which is better.

Label lblSome = e.Item.FindControl("lblMyLable") as Label;

&&

Label lblSome = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblMyLable");

thank you so much.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

Type Casting variables in PHP: Is there a practical example?

as seen on Programmers - Search for 'Programmers'
PHP, as most of us know, has weak typing. For those who don't, PHP.net says: PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition in variable declaration; a variable's type is determined by the context in which the variable is used. Love it or hate it, PHP re-casts variables on-the-fly… >>> More
