The only way to do that would be to get the type name as a string, and examine it.

Why do you want to know if the object is derived from a specfic generic type? You still can't use the object for anything based on that information.

// Old & Broke
client = new Client(sm, sc, txtThread2, btnStart, btnStop);
// New & Working
client = new Client(sc, sm, txtThread2, btnStart, btnStop);
