How do I reorganize a long chain of speculative proxy casting?

Question

I have C # code that processes XML schemas using the Xml.Schema classes from the .NET platform. Various simple type restrictions are abstracted as part of a whole group of classes derived from Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaFacet. If there isn’t something that I missed, the only way to find out which of the obtained facet types is this facet is to speculatively drop it to one of them, catching the resulting InvalidCastOperation in case of failure. Doing this leaves me with a really ugly function like this:

private void NavigateFacet(XmlSchemaFacet facet)
{
    try
    {
        handler.Length((XmlSchemaLengthFacet)facet);
    }
    catch(InvalidCastException)
    {
        try
        {
            handler.MinLength((XmlSchemaMinLengthFacet)facet);
        }
        catch(InvalidCastException)
        {
            try
            {
                handler.MaxLength((XmlSchemaMaxLengthFacet)facet);
            }
            catch(InvalidCastException)
            {
                ...
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

, , XmlSchemaFacet:

Dictionary<Type, Action<XmlSchemaFacet>> HandlerMap = 
   new Dictionary<Type, Action<XmlSchemaFacet>>
{
   {typeof(XmlSchemaLengthFacet), handler.Length},
   {typeof(XmlSchemaMinLengthFacet), handler.MinLength},
   {typeof(XmlSchemaMaxLengthFacet), handler.MaxLength}
};

HandlerMap[facet.GetType()](facet);

as - , null .

private void NavigateFacet(XmlSchemaFacet facet)
{
    var length = facet as XmlSchemaLengthFacet;
    if (length != null)
    {
        handler.Length(length);
        return;
    }

    var minlength = facet as XmlSchemaMinLengthFacet;
    if (minlength != null)
    {
        handler.MinLength(minlength);
        return;
    }

    var maxlength = facet as XmlSchemaMaxLengthFacet;
    if (maxlength != null)
    {
        handler.MaxLength(maxlength);
        return;
