Check if a class is derived from a generic class

Question

I have a generic class in my project with derived classes.

public class GenericClass<T> : GenericInterface<T> { }  public class Test : GenericClass<SomeType> { } 

Is there any way to find out if a Type object is derived from GenericClass?

t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(GenericClass<>)) 

does not work.

Answer 1

Try this code

static bool IsSubclassOfRawGeneric(Type generic, Type toCheck) {     while (toCheck != null && toCheck != typeof(object)) {         var cur = toCheck.IsGenericType ? toCheck.GetGenericTypeDefinition() : toCheck;         if (generic == cur) {             return true;         }         toCheck = toCheck.BaseType;     }     return false; }
