I Think this is what you are looking, in the GetMethod the second argument is an empty array to watch for the .ToString(), just convert the i.GetType().GetMethod("ToString", new Type[] { }).DeclaringType == typeof(object) to a function and there you go.

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int i = 55;
            var s = "some string";
            var x = new List();
            Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(i.GetType().GetMethod("ToString", new Type[] { }).DeclaringType == typeof(object));
            Console.WriteLine(s.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(s.GetType().GetMethod("ToString",new Type[]{}).DeclaringType == typeof(object));
            Console.WriteLine(x.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(x.GetType().GetMethod("ToString",new Type[]{}).DeclaringType == typeof(object));
        }
    }
