i have a sortedlist.
its values are hashtables.

i need to access one of these hashtables:

using option strict without a cast, i got a late binding error :

mysortedlist("key")

when i try to cast it:

directcast(mysortedlist("key"), "hashtable") or
ctype(mysortedlist("key"),"hashtable")

i get an error "type expected"

what is the correct way to perform the case? can anyone help?
thanks in advance!

You are almost there!

directcast(mysortedlist("key"), HashTable)

No quotes
