Using PropertyInfo to find out the property type

Question

I want to dynamically parse an object tree to do some custom validation. The validation is not important as such, but I want to understand the PropertyInfo class better.

I just stumbled upon this great post. If you are just checking whether the data is of string type then maybe we can skip the loop and use this struct (in my humble opinion)

public static bool IsStringType(object data)
    {
        return (data.GetType().GetProperties().Where(x => x.PropertyType == typeof(string)).FirstOrDefault() != null);
    }
