Entity Framework TPT Inetitance Subtypes

How to determine the subtype of an object with TPT-Inhertiance?

If I have a base class Person and two subclasses Manager and Customer, it should be able to query all persons and then group their subclasses using the GetType method, but the return type is always human. For example:.

var persons = ctx.Persons.ToList();

var managers = persons.Where(x => x.GetType() == typeof(Manager)).ToList();

Choose:

var managers = ctx.Persons.OfType<Manager>().ToList();


also useful if you don't know what you have

var persons = ctx.Persons.ToList();
Type modelType = persons.First().GetType();
if (modelType.BaseType == typeof(Manager))
{
    ((Manager)persons.First()).GiveNeilAPayRise = true;
}
