I think if someone puts a Report in your list, which it's type implies is allowed, your foreach will throw an invalid cast exception.

Thank you. I was under the impression that if the method that returned derived reports ultimately returned a list of the base report, then the client would get the properties defined in the base report. But it's up to the client to determine what types of reports are in the list, so this works: // client-side List<Report> reports = provider.GetReports(); foreach (ReportA item in reports) WL(item.MyName); =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
