I was trying to access form database to validate something but during instantiation of FormData provider interface I was getting issue because dot net   compiler only has knowledge of the method that takes a type. ERROR: private  IFormDataProvider FormDataProviders = ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService( typeof (IFormDataProvider)); Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error CS0266 Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'Sitecore.ExperienceForms.Data.IFormDataProvider'. To fix above issue I just cast this Form data provider to it's interface. Once you cast thi service locator to form data provider then you can access sitecore form  entries from form database. private  IFormDataProvider FormDataProviders = ( IFormDataProvider)  ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService( typeof (IFormDataProvider));
