## Type Constraints (NUnit 2.4)

Type constraints perform tests that are specific to Types. The following type constraints are provided:

Syntax Helper | Constructor | Operation
--- | --- | ---
Is.TypeOf( Type ) | ExactTypeConstraint( Type ) | tests that an object is an exact Type
Is.InstanceOfType( Type ) | InstanceOfTypeConstraint( Type ) | tests that an object is an instance of a Type
Is.AssignableFrom( Type ) | AssignableFromConstraint( Type ) | tests that one type is assignable from another

#### Examples of Use

    Assert.That("Hello", Is.TypeOf(typeof(string)));
    Assert.That("Hello", Is.Not.TypeOf(typeof(int)));

    Assert.That("Hello", Is.InstanceOfType(typeof(string)));
    Assert.That(5, Is.Not.InstanceOfType(typeof(string)));

    Assert.That( "Hello", Is.AssignableFrom(typeof(string)));
    Assert.That( 5, Is.Not.AssignableFrom(typeof(string)));

    // Using inheritance
    Expect( 5, Not.InstanceOfType(typeof(string)));
    Expect( "Hello", AssignableFrom(typeOf(string)));
