Check if object is of a given type - elegant way (C++/CLI)

[Guest]

In C# I can write:
if(someObj is someType)
{ .. }

In C++/CLI I used:
if(someObj->GetType()->Eqals(someType::typeid))
{ .. }

Is there some other way to do this stuff in C++/CLI? Perhaps something more
elegant, like C# "is" keyword?

Yes you can. Take a look at section 5.3 of this link

which discusses typeid.

Oops. Sorry. I see now that I offered you nothing new. :-(
