RE: Dynamic Object type casting

["Bhamani, Nizar" <nizar.bhamani@proactcorp.com>]

To add on to my earlier email ...

What I want is to dynamically assign these objects and use their methods 

i.e. during the first call   "derived21Instances" = (derived21[]) method(
"derived2" );


during the second call "derived23Instances" = (derived23[]) method (
"derived2" );


How do I achieve this ?

Thanks again,

Nizar.
