Jason and Brian,

Thanks Jason for catching this. You do need to cast the HostObject to the parent Business Object. However, the translated code to VB will not work due to syntax differences in the language. Here is the translated code that "should" work:

Dim loClient as Client

loClient = CType(Me.HostObject, Client)

Dim oBizObj As MyChildBizObj = CType(loClient.RefBizObj.Get(GetType(MyChildBizObj)), MyChildBizObj)

>Brian,

>I have a feeling this is due to HostObject not having a RefBizObj. Remember, HostObject is merely a reference to an object that hosts the ImmBusinessRuleHost interface. Not all compliant objects (mmBusinessEvent for example) have a RefBizObj collection. For this to work, you'll have to cast HostObject to mmBusinessObject or one of its subclasses:

>>Cathi,
>>Did you run code similiarto your sample? I've tryed every consevable varyation and it wont work. Is the sample c#? HostObject.RefBizObj doesn't show up via intelli senese.
