JaredPar,

This did not work for me if I pass typeof(type<>) as toCheck. Here's what I changed.

static bool IsSubclassOfRawGeneric(Type generic, Type toCheck) {
    while (toCheck != typeof(object)) {
        var cur = toCheck.IsGenericType ? toCheck.GetGenericTypeDefinition() : toCheck;
          if (cur.IsGenericType && generic.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == cur.GetGenericTypeDefinition()) {
            return true;
        }
        toCheck = toCheck.BaseType;
    }
    return false;
}
