Great to see Yahoo support .net too.
While looking at their example code I noticed this:
request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(address), HttpWebRequest)
What's the difference between DirectCast and Ctype? I always use Ctype, I didn't even know about DirectCast. -

From VS2005 documentation:
DirectCast does not use the Visual Basic run-time helper routines for conversion, so it can provide somewhat better performance than CType when converting to and from data type Object.
