I didn't know about this when I wrote this message...
but, yes, this is a better notation...


I am not exactly well experienced in C#, FWIW.




actually, at first I didn't even know this, so I was left using casts and
catching the exception, but figured there had to be a better way than this
(I didn't believe MS would botch up this bad). after a lot of fiddling, I
figured out the "typeof" notation, and it worked.


"is" seems better though.
