I have a dictionary< string, object >. The object values can either be a string or another dictionary. If it's a string, it will be used to move through a switch statement. If it is a dictionary, an if statement that checks for the dictionary type will cause an early return before the switch and essentially load said dictionary as the current dictionary.

When my game was JavaScript, I could check if( myDictionary.TypeOf() == Dictionary.< string, object > ){...}

But in C# that syntax doesn't work (and yeah, I changed the Dictionary<T,T> syntax omitting the period.)

I tried if( myDictionary is Dictionary< string, object > ){...}

I can see that the variable is of the right type via the console, but it's not satisfying the conditional.

So... my question is-- how can I check for the type of the variable that may contain a dictionary... or is there some other strategy I should be considering?
