SSIS Programming- How to declare a variable of type Object?

Question

Hello, I have a very specific coding question. I am trying to create a pkg using SSIS Object model. I am trying to create a variable of type Object. But I could not find any reference in KB or forums on creating variable of this data type.
Example:
// Create the package.
Application a = new Application();
Package p = new Package();
p.Name = "MyDataExtractPkg";
//Add Variables to the pkg
Variables pkgVars = p.Variables;
Variable var8 = p.Variables.Add("varHour", false, "User", (System.Int16)0);
Variable var9 = p.Variables.Add("varHourDiff", false, "User", 0);
Variable var10 = p.Variables.Add("varIntervalWaitInMS", false, "User", 5000);
Variable var11 = p.Variables.Add("varJobCnt", false, "User", 0);
Variable var12 = p.Variables.Add("varjobID", false, "User", 0);
Variable var13 = p.Variables.Add("varJobRS", false, "User", (System.Object)0);
Variable var14 = p.Variables.Add("varProcessDate", false, "User", "abc");
As you can see I was able to successfully variables of Type Int16, Int32(default) & String.
But I need to create a variable of type Object for "varJobRS" and above code is generating int. Appreciate any direction or help on how to create Object variable type.
Thanks,

I have been continuing with my work with intention to approch MS, but I came across the solution in one of the Blog site. The solution is :
var13.Value =
new
Object();
This converts the variable of type Object.
