Check if types are castable / subclasses

Question

I have they type of two members as strings - and not as a Type instance. How can I check if the two types are castable? Let\'s say string one is \"System.Windows.Forms.Label

Answer 1

How about:

public bool IsCastable(String type0, String type1)
{
  return Type.GetType(type1).IsAssignableFrom(Type.GetType(type0));
}
