 ### <a name="av1568"></a> Don't use parameters as temporary variables (AV1568) ![](images/3.png)
 Never use a parameter as a convenient variable for storing temporary state. Even though the type of your temporary variable may be the same, the name usually does not reflect the purpose of the temporary variable.
 
-### <a name="av1570"></a> Always check the result of an `as` operation (AV1570) ![](images/1.png)
-If you use `as` to obtain a certain interface reference from an object, always ensure that this operation does not return `null`. Failure to do so may cause a `NullReferenceException` at a much later stage if the object did not implement that interface.

+If you use 'as' to safely upcast an interface reference to a certain type, always verify that the operation does not return `null`. Failure to do so may cause a `NullReferenceException` at a later stage if the object did not implement that interface.
+Pattern matching syntax prevents this and improves readability. For example, instead of:
+
+	var remoteUser = user as RemoteUser;
+	if (remoteUser != null)
+	{

+
+write:
+

 ### <a name="av1575"></a> Don't comment out code (AV1575) ![](images/1.png)
 Never check in code that is commented out. Instead, use a work item tracking system to keep track of some work to be done. Nobody knows what to do when they encounter a block of commented-out code. Was it temporarily disabled for testing purposes? Was it copied as an example? Should I delete it?
