How do I determine whether the types of two objects are compatible?

Question

I have a generic function that I want to know how to write.

List something;

public int countItems(List Items)
{
    // He         


        

Answer 1

do you mean:

if(typeof(T) == typeof(Something)) {...}

?

Note that having generics depend hugely on the T (and act differently) may mean what you are trying to do isn't actually very generic...
