正如Pablo所建议的，界面方法几乎总是处理这个问题的正确方法。要真正利用switch，另一种方法是在类中使用自定义枚举来表示类型。

enum ObjectType { A, B, Default }

interface IIdentifiable
{
    ObjectType Type { get; };
}
class A : IIdentifiable
{
    public ObjectType Type { get { return ObjectType.A; } }
}

class B : IIdentifiable
{
    public ObjectType Type { get { return ObjectType.B; } }
}

void Foo(IIdentifiable o)
{
    switch (o.Type)
    {
        case ObjectType.A:
        case ObjectType.B:
        //......
    }
}

这也是在BCL中实现的。MemberInfo就是一个例子。MemberTypes，另一个是GetTypeCode用于基本类型，比如:

void Foo(object o)
{
    switch (Type.GetTypeCode(o.GetType())) // for IConvertible, just o.GetTypeCode()
    {
        case TypeCode.Int16:
        case TypeCode.Int32:
        //etc ......
    }
}

一种选择是使用一个从Type到Action(或其他委托)的字典。根据类型查找操作，然后执行它。我以前在工厂用过这个。

在Visual Studio 2017 (Release 15.*)附带的c# 7中，你可以在case语句中使用类型(模式匹配):

switch(shape)
{
    case Circle c:
        WriteLine($"circle with radius {c.Radius}");
        break;
    case Rectangle s when (s.Length == s.Height):
        WriteLine($"{s.Length} x {s.Height} square");
        break;
    case Rectangle r:
        WriteLine($"{r.Length} x {r.Height} rectangle");
        break;
    default:
        WriteLine("<unknown shape>");
        break;
    case null:
        throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(shape));
}

在c# 6中，你可以使用名为()操作符的switch语句(谢谢@Joey Adams):

switch(o.GetType().Name) {
    case nameof(AType):
        break;
    case nameof(BType):
        break;
}

在c# 5和更早的版本中，你可以使用switch语句，但你必须使用一个神奇的字符串，其中包含类型名…这不是特别适合重构(谢谢@nukefusion)

switch(o.GetType().Name) {
  case "AType":
    break;
}

试着这样做:

public void Test(BaseType @base)
{
    switch (@base)
    {
        case ConcreteType concrete:
            DoSomething(concrete);
            break;

        case AnotherConcrete concrete:
            DoSomething(concrete);
            break;
    }
}

对于内置类型，可以使用TypeCode枚举。请注意，GetType()有点慢，但在大多数情况下可能不相关。

switch (Type.GetTypeCode(someObject.GetType()))
{
    case TypeCode.Boolean:
        break;
    case TypeCode.Byte:
        break;
    case TypeCode.Char:
        break;
}

对于自定义类型，您可以创建自己的枚举，以及具有抽象属性或方法的接口或基类…

属性的抽象类实现

public enum FooTypes { FooFighter, AbbreviatedFool, Fubar, Fugu };
public abstract class Foo
{
    public abstract FooTypes FooType { get; }
}
public class FooFighter : Foo
{
    public override FooTypes FooType { get { return FooTypes.FooFighter; } }
}

方法的抽象类实现

public enum FooTypes { FooFighter, AbbreviatedFool, Fubar, Fugu };
public abstract class Foo
{
    public abstract FooTypes GetFooType();
}
public class FooFighter : Foo
{
    public override FooTypes GetFooType() { return FooTypes.FooFighter; }
}

属性的接口实现

public enum FooTypes { FooFighter, AbbreviatedFool, Fubar, Fugu };
public interface IFooType
{
    FooTypes FooType { get; }
}
public class FooFighter : IFooType
{
    public FooTypes FooType { get { return FooTypes.FooFighter; } }
}

方法的接口实现

public enum FooTypes { FooFighter, AbbreviatedFool, Fubar, Fugu };
public interface IFooType
{
    FooTypes GetFooType();
}
public class FooFighter : IFooType
{
    public FooTypes GetFooType() { return FooTypes.FooFighter; }
}

我的一个同事也告诉了我:这样做的好处是，你可以将它用于任何类型的对象，而不仅仅是你定义的对象。它的缺点是有点大和慢。

首先像这样定义一个静态类:

public static class TypeEnumerator
{
    public class TypeEnumeratorException : Exception
    {
        public Type unknownType { get; private set; }
        public TypeEnumeratorException(Type unknownType) : base()
        {
            this.unknownType = unknownType;
        }
    }
    public enum TypeEnumeratorTypes { _int, _string, _Foo, _TcpClient, };
    private static Dictionary<Type, TypeEnumeratorTypes> typeDict;
    static TypeEnumerator()
    {
        typeDict = new Dictionary<Type, TypeEnumeratorTypes>();
        typeDict[typeof(int)] = TypeEnumeratorTypes._int;
        typeDict[typeof(string)] = TypeEnumeratorTypes._string;
        typeDict[typeof(Foo)] = TypeEnumeratorTypes._Foo;
        typeDict[typeof(System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient)] = TypeEnumeratorTypes._TcpClient;
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Throws NullReferenceException and TypeEnumeratorException</summary>
    /// <exception cref="System.NullReferenceException">NullReferenceException</exception>
    /// <exception cref="MyProject.TypeEnumerator.TypeEnumeratorException">TypeEnumeratorException</exception>
    public static TypeEnumeratorTypes EnumerateType(object theObject)
    {
        try
        {
            return typeDict[theObject.GetType()];
        }
        catch (KeyNotFoundException)
        {
            throw new TypeEnumeratorException(theObject.GetType());
        }
    }
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

switch (TypeEnumerator.EnumerateType(someObject))
{
    case TypeEnumerator.TypeEnumeratorTypes._int:
        break;
    case TypeEnumerator.TypeEnumeratorTypes._string:
        break;
}

应该与

case type _:

如:

int i = 1;
bool b = true;
double d = 1.1;
object o = i; // whatever you want

switch (o)
{
    case int _:
        Answer.Content = "You got the int";
        break;
    case double _:
        Answer.Content = "You got the double";
        break;
    case bool _:
        Answer.Content = "You got the bool";
        break;
}
