No existing question has an answer to this question.

In c# 7, can I switch directly on a System.Type?

When I try:

    switch (Type)

Adding to the above answer, if you do not need the value to be used inside the case statement, you can use _. This syntax can be used to remove an unused variable warning message.

switch (this.value) {
  case int _:
    //Do something else without value.
    break;
  case decimal decimalValue:
    this.value = Math.Max(Math.Min(decimalValue, Maximum), Minimum);
    break;
}
