I want to improve the casting to be dependent on the variable it will be assigned to, is there a way? (Please see source code below)

I tried the "typeof" but it is not the right thing to use.
Hope anyone can help me on this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Code:

switch (nodeName.Name)
            {
                    //header elements
                case ConstantVariables.ELEM_MSGID:
                    _messageID = Convert.ToUInt32(nodeName.InnerText);
                    break;
                case ConstantVariables.ELEM_GPBAL:
                    GameState.PlayerState.Player.CurrentBalance = Convert.ToInt64(nodeName.InnerText);
                    break;
                
                default:
                    nodeName.ParentNode.RemoveChild(nodeName);
                    break; 
            }

I guess you got it right now.... though look for
InvalidCast
Format and possibly overflow exception..
