Is there a better alternative than this to 'switch on type'?

Question

Seeing as C# can\'t switch on a Type (which I gather wasn\'t added as a special case because is relationships mean that more than one distinct

Answer 1

I such cases I usually end up with a list of predicates and actions. Something along these lines:

class Mine {
    static List> predicates;
    static List> actions;

    static Mine() {
        AddAction(o => o.Hop());
        AddAction(o => o.Skip());
    }

    static void AddAction(Action action) {
        predicates.Add(o => o is T);
        actions.Add(o => action((T)o);
    }

    static void RunAction(object o) {
        for (int i=0; o < predicates.Count; i++) {
            if (predicates[i](o)) {
                actions[i](o);
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    void Foo(object o) {
        RunAction(o);
    }
}
