Telling what type an object is and checking type

I know i read this somewhere before...

If I have an object of unknown type how can I say is this a datarow? or is
this an integer? then do something based on that... i thought IS worked for
that but it doesnt seem to want to do it correctly...

re: Telling what type an object is and checking type
