Description
Casts a value to a specific type. This activity does not change the input in any way. Its purpose is to improve type checking and expression suggestions in the designer.
Usage
You could use a Display Form activity to allow the user to select a point on the currently selected map with a Geometry Picker. You could then use the Cast activity to cast the selected value from an esri.Geometry to an esri.Point. Using the output of the Cast in an expression would include suggestions for the x and y properties, not just spatialReference and type.
