I have a dilemma. Should I use line 4, 8, 12, or 16?
Raw
UseAsOrCast.cs
// Dilemma, should I use this code:
// NOTE: existingJobDetail.Id is defined as a regular (non-nullable) int.
int? parentJobDetailId = existingJobDetail != null ? existingJobDetail.Id as int? : null;
// Or this code:
int? parentJobDetailId = existingJobDetail != null ? (int?)existingJobDetail.Id : null;
// Or (less likely):
int? parentJobDetailId = existingJobDetail != null ? existingJobDetail.Id as Nullable<int>: null;
// Or:
int? parentJobDetailId = existingJobDetail != null ? (Nullable<int>)existingJobDetail.Id : null;

Can you not just create a new nullable variable do a SetValue? I don't have a C# compiler handy + have done very little C# for quite a while.
