Remarks

The ValidateRecycledTypes property modifies the behavior of the CreateInstance method when the RecycleInstances property is true, as detailed in the following table.

`RecycleInstances`	`ValidateRecycledTypes`	Behavior of `CreateInstance`
`false`	`true` or `false`	Always create a new instance of the specified type
`true`	`false`	If a matching instance is found it is returned, regardless of its type.
`true`	`true`	If a matching instance is found, it is returned only if its type is the same as specified in the method call.

ValidateRecycledTypes is useful for morphing one type of object to another if they have similar properties but share no common parent or interface.
