Function expecting System.Guid - invalid cast problem

[crawfordn]

Hi there,

I'm trying to utilize the WSUS API to create my own custom reporting
agents.

I'm using iUpdateServer.GetComputerTargetGroup, which is defined as
follows:
Public Function GetComputerTargetGroup( _
ByVal id As Guid _
) As IComputerTargetGroup
Implements IUpdateServer.GetComputerTargetGroup

My code is as follows:
For Each targetGroup As IComputerTargetGroup In ComputerGroups
Computers = iUpdateServer.GetComputerTargetGroup(targetGroup.I d)
....

targetGroup.Id is of type System.Guid. Whenever I pass targetGroup.id
to the GetComputerTargetGroup function, I get the following error:

System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for any help!

Turn Option Strict On. Odds are you will find the error at compile time,
perhaps it is happening elsewhere.
