Can I check if an object is comparable to some other type?

Question

I'd like to write some code like this:

if (obj.IsComparableTo(integer))
    Console.Write("successed");

Is this possible? If not, is there an alternative way of determining this?

Answer 1

i've found it :

        public bool isComparable<t>(object o)
        {
            try
            {
                object r = (t)o;
            }
            catch
            {
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        }

to use it:

if (isComparable<int>(32).ToString())
    Console.WriteLine("success");
else
    Console.WriteLine("fail");
