Questionobject.GetType() -=Part II=- Pin

Thanks to everyone who helped with my previous question. I soon realized, however, that what I really need to do is to be able to cast the type, such as:

- This code is hypothetical, as to not complicate things further, but the real object in the program I am working on is a crystal report, but I want the viewer to work with any crystal report without having to hard code the viewer each time I create a new report. But if someone was able to answer this question, I could take it from there.

object SomeFunction ()<br />
{<br />
// Code to create an object of an unknown type<br />
return UnknownObject;<br />
}


Now, while I dont know exactly what type UnknownObject is, I am sure no matter what it has a method called, lets say, ClearNum() - ya, kind of stupid, but Im trying to keep it simple to try to avoid getting an overcomplicated answer.

So lets say I want to ClearNum() on the object regardless of what type of object it is.
How can I accomplish the following:

void OnFormClose ()<br />
{<br />
object o = SomeFunction();<br />
((o.GetType())o).ClearNum();  // Why can't casting be this simple<br />
}



Thanks if anyone knows the answer It would help me be a much better programmer.
