Can't call IFileSystemOperations.Open() method in powershell script

I am passing a DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient instance, named _adlsFileSystemClient, to a powershell script, and from there I wish to do the following. 

_adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.Open(_adlsAccountName, filePath))

The following is my Powershell Script

param([System.Object]$dlsFSMC)
Add-Type -Path C:\Users\..\source\repos\tester\packages\Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.2.4.0-preview\lib\net452\Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.dll"
$strm = $dlsFSMC.FileSystem.Open(<name>,<path>)

Where name and path I have actual string values in those places. I get an error message as follows.

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.FileSystemOperations] does not contain a method named 'Open'.

I am confused why I'm getting the above error when _adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.Open(_adlsAccountName, filePath)) works perfectly fine in Visual Studio.

Open is a extension method, to call it you would need to call the static function and pass in the object.

param([System.Object]$dlsFSMC)
Add-Type -Path C:\Users\..\source\repos\tester\packages\Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.2.4.0-preview\lib\net452\Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.dll"
$strm = [Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataLake.Store.FileSystemOperationsExtensions]::Open($dlsFSMC.FileSystem, <name>,<path>)
