Does casting a generic type using the dynamic keyword cause boxing?

Question

Will the following code cause boxing of the integer passed into the call to GenericMethod?

void GenericMethod<T>(T value)
{
  int test = (dynamic)value;
}

void Main()
{
  GenericMethod(100);
}

Answer 1

According to C# specification §4.7 The dynamic type:

dynamic is considered identical to object except in the following respects:

• Operations on expressions of type dynamic can be dynamically bound (§7.2.2).

• Type inference (§7.5.2) will prefer dynamic over object if both are candidates.

So, casting to dynamic cause boxing in the same way as casting to object.
