Since the following appears to be illegal...
class MyClass
{
public override bool Equals (object obj)
{
if ( ! obj is typeof ( this )) // <== Syntax error
return false;
// other comparison stuff
}
}
What is the easiest way to do the above Performance is not an issue as the code is just responding to user actions.
The reason for wanting to do this is deep inheritance and the use of Activator.CreateInstance.
I also have some confusion over whether it is better to overide Equals(obj) or if it is better to create Equals(MyClass) at each level of inheritance.

Using 'is' with a dynamic type

Guess like that:
if ((obj==null) || (object.GetType() != this.GetType()))
return false;

That's what I did in the end. I assume the 'is' form is quicker and that is why it is used.
