I marked the page as needing citations. there should be a citation for the first section that explains the concept of downcasting. I really believe there needs to be a citation for the second section, criticisms. Who are the "many people" who consider downcasting a bad idea? Scottm1212 (talk) 00:58, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

yeah, and what if people searh downcast and this showed up,like I did? they would be confused,like I was.I STILL don't know what downcasting is. It only talked ABOUT IT not about WHAT it is. 72.131.109.21 (talk) 11:25, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Changed what "casting" links to. Use to go to the main page on the art of casting. Changed link to go to the computer science cast page, which currently redirects to Type conversion page. Scottm1212 (talk) 00:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
