Calling protected method from interface that doesn't include method

[Jon Shemitz]

I'm puzzled by this, code clarified from working code

IToolboxService GetToolboxService(IDesignerHost AnyDesigner)
{
return (IToolboxService)
AnyDesigner.RootComponent.Site.
GetService( typeof(IToolboxService) );
}

Now, RootComponent is an IComponent, and Site is an ISite. Which
brings me to my question: ISite does not have a GetService method.
Components and Containers have a protected GetService method.

I appear to be calling a protected method of an object that I
supposedly only know of through an interface that doesn't include this
method?

Jon,

ISite derives from IServiceProvider, which has the GetService method.

I had second thoughts in the night, when I couldn't sleep. Came in,
booted up, found this with F12. Was going to retract.

Thanks! though.
