ClientRuntimeContext to ClientContext

Question

I was wondering if their is any way to convert ClientRuntimeContext into ClientContext. i am retrieving the ClientRuntime context like this

    public File uploadBase(Document document, Folder folder)
    {
        ClientRuntimeContext clientContext = folder.Context;
    }

The reason for this question is that i am building a productivity layer ontop of the Client-object-model, and trying to make it as easy to use as possible

Thanks in advance

ClientContext is derived from ClientRuntimeContext. You can safely cast one to the other.

public File uploadBase(Document document, Folder folder)
{
    ClientRuntimeContext clientContext = (ClientContext)folder.Context;
}

Tried it out here and it worked for downloading files:

var fileInformation = File.OpenBinaryDirect((ClientContext)item.Context, item["FileRef"].ToString());
