Ahh, so you don't need to determine the 'cast to' type at runtime. All you need to do is verify it implements the specified interface.

Say your interface is IPlugin and the programmer has an object plugin, which is an instance of their class that is supposed to implement the interface.. Something like this should work:

 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if(plugin is IPlugin)
  // implements the interface
else
  // oops
if(plugin is IPlugin)
  // implements the interface
else
  // oops

Perhaps include this kind of logic when you're registering the plugin.
