What is the difference between typeof and the is keyword?

Question

What\'s the exact difference between the two?

// When calling this method with GetByType()

public bool GetByType() {
    // this ret         


        

Answer 1

• first compares the two Type objects (types are themselves object in .net)
• second, if well written (myObj is AClass) check compatibility between two types. if myObj is an instance of a class inheriting from AClass, it will return true.

typeof(T) is AClass returns false because typeof(T) is Type and AClass does not inherit from Type
