title: What is the C# equivalent of CType in VB.NET?
body: <p>I am trying to convert the example provided in MSDN article <em><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479330.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Creating Dynamic Data Entry User Interfaces</a></em> to C#, but am stuck at the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CType(dq, IUIBuildingBlock).QuestionText = reader("QuestionText")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I convert the above VB.NET statement to C#?</p>
