Remarks
In .NET 10 and later versions, no COM object casts successfully to this interface. If you need access, it's recommended to project and define a managed definition of IDispatch or IDispatchEx.
In .NET 5 through .NET 9, COM objects that implement IDispatchEx can be cast to this interface, but all methods throw TypeLoadException.
On .NET Framework, the IReflect interface is used to interoperate with the IDispatch interface. IReflect defines a subset of the Type reflection methods. Implementing this interface enables a type to customize its behavior when the object is being accessed from COM as an IDispatch object. The ExpandoToDispatchExMarshaler class can be used to marshal an object that implements IReflect or IExpando as a COM IDispatch object, and vice versa.
