How to check if a interface reference is a specific class

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to find if my interface reference is a specific class.

For example i have DeviceInterface reference, and Playstation, PC and Mac all implement it. Is there a way to see if DeviceInterface is a PC?

I have thought about using a enum to define the type and using that, but is there a way of avoiding this and using a type check or something along those lines?

Thanks in advance.

Note, that if you have to make checks like this often, it's a sign that you might want to re-think the architecture. — Corak, Jul 25 '19 at 06:20

Let's say that you have

DeviceInterface PcDevice = new PC();

In that case you can just do:

if (PcDevice is PC) { console.WriteLine("I'm a PC"); }
