Check if an object's type is from a particular namespace

Question

Is it possible to check if the object's type is a part of a particular namespace from C# code? If yes, how?

I need to check if e.OriginElement as FrameworkElement is one of the MS.Internal controls.

Can you not use the fully qualified type name in your cast? `e.OriginElement as MS.Internal.FrameworkElement == null` — Chris, Jan 11 '12 at 00:14

You can inspect the Type.Namespace property.

e.OriginElement.GetType().Namespace
