Visual C# check type of array elements with lambda expression -

i have array contains various type of elements.

i trying construct lambda expression evaluate if clause true if specific type exists in array.

i trying following , many different approaches don't seem right:

var arraysourcetext = editorcontroller.activedocument                                       .activesegmentpair                                       .source                                       .allsubitems                                       .toarray();  if (arraysourcetext.any(o => o.gettype()) == typeof(string)) {    intstartingph++; } 

any advice welcome.

note: arraysourcetext api ienumerable custom types. assumed string simplicity in pseudocode.

update: because type not exposed api, name of type, workaround based on byyo's correction. wrote separate method check name of type , return bool:

var arraysourcetext = editorcontroller.activedocument                                       .activesegmentpair                                       .source                                       .allsubitems                                       .toarray();  string typeph = "placeholdertag";  if (arraysourcetext.any(o => ismatchtypestring(typeph, o)))     {         intstartingph++;     }  //then below method check:  static bool ismatchtypestring(string testtype, params object[] items) {     if (items.length == 0)     {         return false;     }     else if (testtype == items[0].gettype().tostring())     {         return true;     }     else     {         return false;     } } 

there seems error in parenthesis

                                        v                  v  if (arraysourcetext.any(o => o.gettype()) == typeof(string)) // approach if (arraysourcetext.any(o => o.gettype() == typeof(string))) // correct approach 

instead of checking each element string, check result of any() typeof(string)
