Range r = (Range)ws.Cells[2, 2];

Try
systype = ((Range)ws.Cells[2, 2]).Value2.ToString();

One possibility could be to just simply use parenthesis. Something like:

C#

systype = ((Range)ws.Cells[2, 2]).Value2.ToString();

It depends on the requirements if that's a correct approach (error handling needs, if variable r is also used for something else etc).

Thanks, seems that my fingers are roughly 2 minutes slower. Probably my age :)
