I found the solution, but it was a bit tricky. The hatch was that it
should be typecastet as an object[] array.
Thanks everyone for your time and help.
Here is the code that work:
ArrayList morlist = new ArrayList();
ManagedObjectReference vmmor;
string vmName;
for (int oci = 0; oci < ocary.Length; oci++) {
oc = ocary[oci];
mor = oc.obj;
pcary = oc.propSet;
log.LogLine("Object Type : " + mor.type);
log.LogLine("Reference Value : " + mor.Value);
morlist = clientInfo.SvcUtil.GetDecendentMoRefs(mor,
"VirtualMachine");
for (int vm = 0; vm <= morlist.Count - 1; vm++)
{
Object[] objary = (Object[])morlist[vm];
vmmor = (ManagedObjectReference)objary[0];
vmName = (string)objary[1];
Console.WriteLine(vmName.ToLower());
}
