is and as operators in C#

is Operator:

• is operator Checks if an object is compatible with a given type
• An is expression evaluates to true if the provided expression is non-null, and the provided object     can  be cast to the provided type without causing  an exception to be thrown.

as Operator:

• The as operator is used to perform conversions between compatible reference types
• The as operator is like a cast operation. However, if the conversion is not possible, as returns null instead of raising an exception
