If the type of child is the type of the parent

I am trying to pass an inherited class type to a method and want to check if the type is a base class type. How can I do this since inherited.GetType () == typeof (baseclass) will return false?

The operator is

does this.

if (inherited is baseclass)
{
    // do stuff
}


You can also use Type.BaseType

it if you want to know that this is exactly the direct parent.

Use Type.IsAssignableFrom :



if (typeof(baseclass).IsAssignableFrom(inh.GetType())
{

}
