Is it possible to use generic classes without type parameters? [duplicate]

Question

If I have a templated(generic) class MyClass<T>, is it possible to do something like:

var b = someObject is MyClass; // without specifying <T>

Answer 1

No it's not, but you can use reflection to check the type:

someObject.GetType().GetGenericTypeDefinition().IsAssignableFrom(typeof(MyClass<>))
