Any alternative for IsSubclassOf or IsAssignableFrom in C# Metro-style

Question

Is there any alternative for IsSubclassOf or IsAssignableFrom in C# Metro-style?

I'm trying to make this code run on Metro but can't find alternative.

if ((ui.GetType() == type) || (ui.GetType().IsSubclassOf(type)))
{
    return true;
}

Answer 1

Many of the reflection methods can be found in the System.Reflection.TypeInfo class.

You can get an instance of TypeInfo for your Type using the GetTypeInfo extension method, provided by System.Reflection.IntrospectionExtensions:

using System.Reflection;

// ...

ui.GetType().GetTypeInfo().IsSubclassOf(type)

Answer 2

You can use this:

using System.Reflection;

// ...

ui.GetTypeInfo().IsAssignableFrom(type.GetTypeInfo());

This works in Metro.
