C# What is the best way to determine the type of an inherited interface class?
- by Martijn
In my application I work with criterias. I have one base Criteria interface and and other interfaces who inherits from this base interface:
ICriteria

ITextCriteria IChoices
What I'd like to know is, what is the best way to know what Type the class is?
In my code I have a dropdown box and based on that I have to determine the type:
// Get selected criteria
var selectedCriteria = cmbType.SelectedItem as ICriteria;
if (selectedCriteria is IChoices)
{
//selectedCriteria = cmbType.SelectedItem as IChoices; Doesn't work
IChoices criteria = selectedCriteria as IChoices;//cmbType.SelectedItem as IChoices;
SaveMultipleChoiceValues(criteria);
//_category.AddCriteria(criteria);
}
else
{
//ICriteria criteria = selectedCriteria; //cmbType.SelectedItem as ICriteria;
if (selectedCriteria.GetCriteriaType() == CriteriaTypes.None)
{
return;
}
//_category.AddCriteria(criteria);
}
_category.AddCriteria(selectedCriteria);
selectedCriteria.LabelText = txtLabeltext.Text;
this.Close();
My question is, is this the best way? Or is there a better way to achieve this?
The chance is big that there are coming more interfaces based on ICriteria.
