How does the " is " operator work internally
- by JDMX
I want to compare the type of an object to a type to see if they are the same. I do not have the object, just the type of the object.
I can do type1 == type2 and get general equality
I can have a recursive loop where I repeat the above step for type1.BaseType until the BaseType is null.
I can do type1.GetInterface( type2.FullName ) != null to check if type2 is an interface of type1
If I put it all together, I get
if ( type2.IsInterface )
return type1.GetInterface( type2.FullName ) != null;
while ( type1 != null ) {
if ( type1 == type2 )
return true;
type1 = type1.BaseType;
}
return false;
Is that all the is keyword is. I cannot find the right keyword to plug into the Reflector search to find the function and a google search on "is" was not really helpful
