Passing a dotnet control as generic object problem???

Hi All,

I have written a VB activex dll component, which exposes a method say
MethodA that takes one of the arguments as object (generic) type. The
method looks like this:

Public Sub MethodA(ByRef ctrl As Object, ByVal categoryID As
FontCategoriesEnum, Optional ByVal resID As Long)

When i use this dll within the VB projects, works fine. When i use
this in dotnet, i have to convert the control as object type and pass
it. But it gives me InvalidCastException......anybody have come across
or have the answer for this, plz drop in few lines??. Bcoz this is
very imp step in my project.
