[Solved] GetType

Can't I do this?

Code:

---

public void AddAttribute(Attribute a)
                {
                        if (a == null)
                                throw new NullReferenceException();
                        if (a is this.CreateAttribute().GetType())
                                throw new InvalidAttributeException();
                        attributes.Add(a);
                }

---

It says, Invalid expression term ')', etc... Thanks in advance!

The "is" keyword is used with types, not instances of the Type class. The GetType method returns an instance of the Type class. You use "is" something like this:

Code:

---

if (str is string)

---

How you're using it is equivalent to this:

Code:

---

if (str is typeof(string))

---

which is not valid. What you need to do is get two Type references and compare them:

Code:

---

if (a.GetType() == this.CreateAttribute().GetType())

---

Millions of thanks JM.
