Here's a little holiday cheer for you all. Or, at least for you all in Commonwealth countries.
static object M<T>(T t) where T : struct{ return t;}
int ii = 10;int? jj = 20;object xx = ii;object yy = jj;System.ValueType zz = ii;IComparable aa = ii;System.Enum bb = MidpointRounding.ToEven;object cc = M(ii);
I hope you're having a festive holiday season. Happy Boxing Day, and we'll see you in the New Year for more fabulous adventures!

Too cute - Happy Boxing Day all.
And, for the record, if asked to list statements that would cause boxing I'd have certainly missed the assignments to ValueType and Enum. Subtle.
Merry x'mas to all who post here...
*smacks forehead*
...boxing...day... duh...
I am sorry.. but I don't understand... is there any special/cute meaning of these codes other than boxing?
Nope. The joke is that it was "Boxing Day" on the 26th, so I figured that some boxing conversions would be festive.
Remember, the function of my sense of humour is to amuse *me*, not *you*.

*groan*!
I'm ashamed to admit that despite being British by birth and upbringing I still didn't get it even *after* Blake's spoiler for a good minute or two. "Subtle" is an understatement :)
Well played.
And I was still trying to figure out what the heck a "Boxing day" is.. we poor continental europeans ;)
