When is obj.GetType().IsInstanceOfType(typeof(MyClass)) true?

Question

I\'m looking at this piece of code written by someone else, and I\'m wondering when it would evaluate to true. Basically, it is saying someType is an instance of someOtherT

Answer 1

IsInstanceOfType() checks whether the instance that you pass it is an instance of the type you called it on.

You're passing a System.Type instance to IsInstanceOfType(). That will only be true if you call it on typeof(Type) or one of its base classes.
