Examples of Implicit Variable Assignment in C#

Question

I noticed you can do this sort of thing in C#:

XNamespace c = "http://s.opencalais.com/1/pred/";

Notice the string value is implicitly converted to different type. Are there other places this can be done? What are some common patterns and practices around this sort of thing?

Answer 1

This can happen whenever an implicit conversion operator is defined. All in all it is quite rare.
