   I didn't know about this when I wrote this message...   
   but, yes, this is a better notation...   
      
   I am not exactly well experienced in C#, FWIW.   
      
      
   actually, at first I didn't even know this, so I was left using casts and   
   catching the exception, but figured there had to be a better way than this   
   (I didn't believe MS would botch up this bad). after a lot of fiddling, I   
   figured out the "typeof" notation, and it worked.   
      
   "is" seems better though.
