Try:

if(myControl is ContainerControl)

[Claes Bergefall]

if (ctrl.GetType().IsSubclassOf(typeof(ContainerContr ol)))
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Inherits ContainerControl");
else
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Doesn't inherit ContainerControl");

Just use :
if(control is ContainerControl) {
// do something
}
or:
ContainerControl cont = control as ContainerControl;
if(cont!=null) {
// do something
}

//Note: untested

Label controlToCheck = new Label();

ContainerControl possibleContainer = controlToCheck as ContainerControl;
if(possibleContainer != null)
