object conversion w/ option strict on

[JerryH]

I'm using a 3rd party dll to retrieve some data (I have no choice in this!),
this returns an Object variable that I know contains an array of singles. The
following code works fine if I set option strict to off, but with it on I get
the error:
Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Object' to
'1-dimensional array of Single'.

Dim myValues As Object
Dim mySngArr() As Single

' code to retrieve myValues goes here
mySngArr = myValues ' this line gives the error w/ option strict on

My question is: how can I create the array of singles from this object with
option strict on?
