So you want to check whether a type has a overridden ToString method? Why not just check whether the value returned by ToString is equal to the value returned by the default implementation of ToString?

So, we can use this to check whether an object has overridden the ToString method:

bool toStringOverridden = someObject.GetType().ToString() !=
