Best way to test if a generic type is a string? (C#)

I have a generic class that should allow any type, primitive or otherwise. The only problem with this is using default(T). When you call default on a value type

Answer 1

I know this question is old, but there has been an update.

Since C# 7.0 you can use the is operator to compare types. You no longer require the usage of typeof as in the accepted answer.

        public bool IsObjectString(object obj)
        {
            return obj is string;
        }
