C# : 'is' keyword and checking for Not

Question

This is a silly question, but you can use this code to check if something is a particular type...

if (child is IContainer) { //....

Is ther

Answer 1

The is operator evaluates to a boolean result, so you can do anything you would otherwise be able to do on a bool. To negate it use the ! operator. Why would you want to have a different operator just for this?
