@Richard's answer is great. Just to expand it a bit:

This can be useful in a situation where you dynamically created an object of unknown type and need to call its method:

var do = xs.Deserialize(new XmlTextReader(ms)); // example - XML deserialization
do.GetType().GetMethod("myMethodName").Invoke(do, new [] {arg1, arg2});

becasue at compile time do is just an Object.
