C#.NET - How can I get typeof() to work with inheritance?

Question

I will start by explaining my scenario in code:

public class A { }

public class B : A { }

public class C : B { }

public class D { }

public c         


        

Answer 1

typeof(B).IsInstanceOfType(c)

Similar to the answer above from sam-harwell, sometimes you may have the type "B" in a variable, so you need to use reflection rather than the "is" operator.

I used Sam's solution, and was pleasantly surprised when Resharper made this suggestion.
