JS to C# != ElementReference; C# to JS == ElementReference

Describe the bug

when calling a C# call from JS the returned object fails to resolve ElementReference to a referenced element. C# calling JS with the same object resolves the element reference correctly.

they are both resolving to JSObjects some how, just wondering if its possible for the returned object to be resolved as an ElementReference?

this is currently a blocker for me because i can’t simply return the same object requested, id have to have a js callback, that i am unsure of how to implement correctly.

EDIT: Just figured out a callback solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56627649/how-can-i-get-javascript-callback-in-net-blazor

but this bug would be more simple.

To Reproduce

Failed TypeScript ElementReference Resolution code:

let newComponent: MyComponent | null = await this._dotNetInterop.invokeMethodAsync("BuildNewComponent",incomingProperties);

Output of failed: typeof: object __internalId: “50c7d062-116e-4f5b-afbd-dba94f3521f2”

Working TypeScript ElementReference Resolution code

public RecieveComponent(component: object) 
{
    console.log("recieved new component");
    console.log(component);
}

Output of working: <text fill=“Black” font-family=“Marcellus SC” x=“100” y=“100” text-anchor=“middle” text-length=“0” transform=“translate(0,0)” _bl_50c7d062-116e-4f5b-afbd-dba94f3521f2=“”>New Font</text>

_dotNetInterop is defined as:

InjectDotNetInterop(incomingInterop: DotNet.DotNetObject): Boolean
    {
        if(this._dotNetInterop == undefined)
        {
            this._dotNetInterop = incomingInterop;
        }
}

C#:

public object BuildNewComponent()
{
    var newJSComponent = new
    {
        SomeTestVariable = "Built in an anonymous type",
        Tags = myElementReference
    };
    object dynamicCast = incomingComponent.ConvertToJSComponent();
    await this._currentJSRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("OriJSClientCalls.RecieveComponent", dynamicCast);
    return dynamicCast    
}

@Triggs9 People here are trying to help you, but your being very abrasive and in no way attempting to help us to help you, we can see what your trying to ask, but your not answering the questions being asked by others, and thus we can’t help you.

As @mrpmorris states there are MANY ways of doing what your trying to achieve, and if you explain your goals, then we might be able to tell you a BETTER way to do what your trying to do.

If you don’t explain, then there’s little we can do to help, other than WAIT until what you describe as a bug to be investigated, and that’s simply not going to happen overnight.

If you want to try to reach a solution now, then help us… to help you!

I refuse to create a repo for some who refuses to read and even slightly attempt to understand the bug being reported and implements a blanket “i need this to do my job” as a machine/robot would. I have even gone to the extent of solving the bug for you. don’t comment on this thread again please.
