Identify the type of control selected on DiagramControl object

Question

I am using DiagramControl of devexpress tools. When I add shape, insert images and text field on it. How do I detect the type of control which is selected by user on its SelectionChanged event? When I use diagramControl.Items array iterator

for (int iControlIndex = 0; iControlIndex < diagControl1.Items.Count; iControlIndex++)
{    
    (diagControl1.Items[iControlIndex] as DiagramImage)
}

if its DiagramImage then it works but if it is DiagramShape it gives exception. I need to write something like switch case on shape item selected which gives Shape type in cases like its Shape or Image or Text.

Can you just try something like this:

DiagramItem currentItem = diagControl1.Items[iControlIndex];

if (currentItem is DiagramShape)
{
     // Do whatever for DiagramShape
     (currentItem as DiagramShape).DoSomething();
}
else if (currentItem is DiagramConnector)
{
     // Do whatever for DiagramConnector)
     (currentItem as DiagramShape).DoSomething();
}
