I have code as follows:
Dictionary<object, object> dict = ...
Color = (int)dict.GetValue("color");
When I convert the Color to an int, I get the following exception:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type
'System.Int64' to type 'System.Int32'.
I am not sure why I can't just cast from a long to an int. I know for a fact that the value is less than 0xFFFFFF
(24 bits) since it is a color.
I tried using unchecked
but that didn't help either.

You must first unbox the value as the dictionary's value type is
object
.
