LINQ to SQL不支持强制转换？

Question

如果我这样做：

User userOOM = new User();
userOOM.Nickname = "markzzz";

UserFacebook userFacebook = new UserFacebook();
userFacebook.first_name = "marco";

db.User.InsertOnSubmit(userOOM);
userOOM.UserFacebook.Add(userFacebook);
db.SubmitChanges(); 

插入是完美的，它的工作原理。但是，如果我这样做：

User userOOM = new User();
userOOM.Nickname = "markzzz";

UserFacebookCatcher userCatched = new UserFacebookCatcher();
UserFacebook userFacebook = (UserFacebook)userCatched;
userFacebook.first_name = "marco";

db.User.InsertOnSubmit(userOOM);
userOOM.UserFacebook.Add(userFacebook);
db.SubmitChanges(); 

（所以，我投了userFacebook类）我得到Object reference not set to an instance of an object.例外。如果我删除它可以工作：

userOOM.UserFacebook.Add(userFacebook);

所以铸造就是问题所在。 UserFacebookCatcher并不特别：

public class UserFacebookCatcher : UserFacebook
{
    public UserFacebookCatcher()
    {
        this.first_name = "marco"
    }
}

如果继承一个类，LINQ to SQL不起作用吗？
