Cast class into another class or convert class to another

by

Use JSON serialization and deserialization:

using Newtonsoft.Json;

Class1 obj1 = new Class1();
Class2 obj2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Class2>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj1));

Or:

public class Class1
{
    public static explicit operator Class2(Class1 obj)
    {
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Class2>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj));
    }
}

Which then allows you to do something like

Class1 obj1 = new Class1();
Class2 obj2 = (Class2)obj1;
