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 Determines whether the specified object is an instance of the current Type.

Sample : IsInstanceOfType(o)

true if the current Type is in the inheritance hierarchy of the object represented by o, or if the current Type is an interface supported by o. false if none of these conditions is not met, or if o is null, or if the current Type is an open generic type
