Get Type Of Super Class??

[Smeat]

Hi All

Each of my .ASPX pages inherits from 1 of 2 available base pages, each of which makes up part of a chain.

For example, I have 2 web pages:

Page1.aspx which inherits from CustomBasePage1
and
Page2.aspx which inherits from CustomBasePage1 which inherits from CustomBasePage2

In my CustomBasePage1, I have a method which takes a different action depending on which class the .aspx page inherited from.

How can I determine if the .aspx page inheritted from CustomBasePage1 OR CustomBasePage2

TIA

Correction

Page2.aspx which inherits from CustomBasePage1 which inherits from CustomBasePage2

should read

Page2.aspx which inherits from CustomBasePage2 which inherits from CustomBasePage1

Thanks

In case it helps anyone else, here is how I solved my problem:

    #region Validate User Access Rights

    /// <summary>
    /// Ensure the user is not trying to byepass licensing
    /// </summary>
    protected virtual void ValidateUserAccess()
    {
        LoyaltyLogistix.Automotive.Autolog.Library.Security.AutologIdentity identity = GetIdentity();
        bool isLMSUser = (identity.LicenseMode == LoyaltyLogistix.Automotive.Autolog.Library.Security.AutologIdentity.LicensingMode.LMS);
        identity = null;

        if (isLMSUser == true)
        {
            //If this is not an instance of CustomerPageBaseLMS then
            //the user has requested a page form the Autolog product and the
            //request must be denied.
            Type currentType = this.GetType();
            bool isLMSType = false;
            do
            {
                if (currentType.BaseType == typeof(CustomPageBaseLMS))
                {
                    isLMSType = true;
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    currentType = currentType.BaseType;
                }
            } while (currentType != typeof(object));

            if(! isLMSType)
            {
                throw new UnauthorizedAccessException("You are not authorised to view this page, please check you license agreement.");
            }
        }
    }

    #endregion

You could also have used the "is" keyword as in:

if (currentType is CustomPageBaseLMS)
{
    //...
}
