Michal,

The type comes from a dll (Schedule.dll) which I compiled with the
namespace which IServices is defined (Umbrella.CIB.Service).  The file
where I reflect on the Schedule.dll, where the above code snippet is
from, I have 'using Umbrella.CIB.Service' which is the same namespace I
used for compiling the Schedule.dll  I thought then IServices as seen by
'type' and as seen by 'as' would be the same. Am I incorrect in this
assumption?  


Thanks in advance,

Joe
