How to check which subclass is object of superclass?

Question

To explain my question: Car, Boat, Airplane are subclasses from Toy class. How can I check which subclass is object of Toy class?

Add some code. Now it is impossible to say something. What did you do until now? — Julo, Mar 25 '18 at 13:43

If your code goes like this:

public class Car : Toy
{
    //...    
}

Then the first thing that comes to my mind: is

Example:

Car myCar = new Car();
if (myCar is Toy)
{
   //...
}

That check can never fail, so I'm not sure what you are demonstrating? – Ron Beyer Mar 25 '18 at 13:59
It's just an example of using "is". Might've made it a bit more complicated, that's true – MaxB Mar 25 '18 at 14:01
I have found similar question here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/2742288/1773972 you can use `Type.IsSubclassOf` too – Pini Cheyni Apr 10 '18 at 13:28
