Equality of generic types

I'm trying to compare 2 types. I have class Foo<Bar> but i dont know the generic arguments I have to know is it a Foo object or not. The following code does not work, I dont know why.

foreach (var type in types.Where(t => t.BaseType == typeof(Foo<>))
{
    use(type);
}
Solution

  • I found the answer. There is a method called type.GetGenericTypeDefinition() and I can compare my object with this methods return type now.
