.net - Cast IEnumerable(Of String) to my sub-classed List(Of String) -


i have class inherits list:

public class textlines : inherits list(of string)   end class 

now, how can cast return value of type ienumerable(of string) custom class?

real example of i'm trying do:

dim lines textlines lines = ctype(file.readalllines(me.filepathb, me.encodingb).tolist, textlines) 

it throws invalid cast exception.

why don't this?

dim lines new textlines() lines.addrange(file.readalllines(me.filepathb, me.encodingb)); 

or expose constructor takes ienumerable<t>?
