generics casting question

PJ6
Is there any way I can get the compiler to accept this kind of generic type
upcasting at runtime?

Paul

Public Class GenericClass(Of SomeType As {New})
End Class

Public Sub Test()

Dim foo As New GenericClass(Of Integer)
Dim bar As GenericClass(Of Object) = DirectCast(DirectCast(foo,
Object), GenericClass(Of Object))

End Sub
