I'm trying to use Enumerable.ToList() in PowerShell. Apparently, to do that, I have to explicitly convert the object to IEnumerable<CustomType>, but I am unable to do that. It seems I can't correctly write IEnumerable<CustomType> in PowerShell. Both IEnumerable<string> and CustomType itself work correctly (the custom type I'm trying to use is called WpApiLib.Page), so I don't know what can I be doing wrong.

PS C:\Users\Svick> [Collections.Generic.IEnumerable``1[System.String]]

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     False    IEnumerable`1


PS C:\Users\Svick> [WpApiLib.Page]
