I've tried two ways to instantiate a class in Powershell v3:
$regex = New-Object -Type System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex -ArgumentList '\/\/.*' | Get-Member
$regex::Replace("//hey", "")
And:
$netregex = [regex]::new('\/\/.*') | Get-Member
$nosingleline = $netregex::Replace("//hey", '')
The first way yields this:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'System.Type'.
At line:2 char:1
$regex::Replace("//hey", "")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [], InvalidCastException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.InvalidCastException
The second way yields this:
Method invocation failed because
[System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex] doesn't contain a method named
'new'. At line:4 char:1
$netregex = [regex]::new('//.*') | Get-Member
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
Remove | Get-Member from both commands. It is changing the ultimate object type being output on those lines.
Also use . to access the method:
$netregex = [regex]::new('\/\/.*')
$nosingleline = $netregex.Replace("//hey", '')
$regex = New-Object -Type System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex -ArgumentList '\/\/.*'
$regex.Replace("//hey", "")

I'm facing an issue of getting all vms configuration ( using Get-ScVirtualMachine command) into an array from an input file.
The code is this one below
$VmsList = Get-Content C:\VmsList.txt
foreach($vm in $VmsList){
$Result += Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name $vm
}
And I have this error
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.VM] does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'.

I forgot to declare the array $result = #()
I resolved the issue.
when I try to write to worksheet.range with system.collections.ArrayList, It was failed, but because it was an One-dimensional array when I transfer it to be system.Array, it was been an One-dimensional array, How can I transfer it into a two-dimensional array? or how to write to worksheet?

You can't pass a switch as a string parameter like that. You need to use a technique called 'splatting'. See help about_splatting or https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/reference/5.1/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_splatting

Could you please help me out?
A possible scenario is that you were testing and actually casted those variables like the error states. The error is not wrong. Those variables are not the list types that you have in your code. I can almost reproduce this issue:
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> [int[]]$sumlist = 5,5
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.GetType().Fullname
System.Int32[]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)
Exception calling "Add" with "1" argument(s): "Collection was of a fixed size."
At line:1 char:1
+ $sumlist.Add(5)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NotSupportedException
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
While I didn't get the same error as you the point is the type of the variable didn't change even though I tried to recasted it. That is because of property of the variable explained in this answer by PetSerAl. Have a look at the command Get-Variable sumlist | ft Name,Attributes and you should see System.Management.Automation.ArgumentTypeConverterAttribute. Removing the variable and starting again I get your expected behavior.
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> Remove-Variable sumlist
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.GetType().FullName
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]

It seems Assemblies are not loading correctly.

Instead of above, try following

PS: Make sure that C:\MOSSLibrary\ contains following two .dll's
