>I thought the addition of GetType() was the equivalent of what you mention. It does work well as is as I just tested it and it goes in for ImageMap when it is a type of ImageMap only and it goes in the other condition when it is a type of Image only.
Yes it would work but be defensive I mean.
With ToString() you're converting type info to a string and comparing to a constant. If you accidentally change a single letter's casing there then it'd fail (string comparison). Instead what I'm saying is to compare their Type (System.Type). In effect you're doing:
if "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image" = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image"
which is true and we do it like that in VFP too. However in VFP it's the only way:( Any casing change on either side would cause it to break (or a little mistype might go unseen).
What I say instead do it like:
if Type = Type
