Enumerating the PerformanceCounterCategory class

The following methods fails saying it cannot convert from type System.Collections.DcitionaryEntry to type System.Diagnostics.InstanceDataCollection. I've tried type casting, but to no avail. If I iterate through the DemoCollection DictionaryEntry objects, I haven't found a way to get at the InstanceDataCollection that should be hidden somewhere in this object. How can I fix this?

Code Snippet

static void ReadPerformanceCounterCategories()

{

//ReadCategory reads all the counter and performance object instace data associated with this category

PerformanceCounterCategory DemoCounterCategory = new PerformanceCounterCategory(".NET CLR Memory");

InstanceDataCollectionCollection DemoCollection = DemoCounterCategory.ReadCategory();

//IDictionaryEnumerator enumer = DemoCollection.GetEnumerator();

Debug.Assert(DemoCollection != null, "DemoCollection is null");

foreach (InstanceDataCollection thisCollection in DemoCollection)

{

Console.WriteLine(thisCollection.CounterName);

}

Well, this example covers it (though it is much more elaboratethan I'd hoped) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.tracesource.aspx

I believe there is a simpler implementationfor a single PerformanceCounterCategory that has been hard coded, as is the case here;especially since the code I posted came straight out of a Microsoft book (ISBN: 0-7356-2277-9) pg 604.
