Yahoo has launched a .NET developer center to help you kick start development with the Microsoft .NET Framework and Yahoo! services.

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.
