You probably need to Query Interface it.

Something like this (in c#):

ILayer layer = map.get_Layer(0); // use appropriate layer index
IMapLayerInfo layerInfo = layer as IMapLayerInfo;
// or
// IMapLayerInfo layerInfo = (IMapLayerInfo)layer;

HI,
the above code is giving error, not able to cast the feautreclass to maplayerinfo..

my requirement is to find the parent layer of the sublayer which is a composite layer.

kindly help.
