I have a base class, Device, and a bunch of derived classes Dev1, Dev2

SetDevice((Device)SelectedDevice);

I are Troll

private static void
SetDev
(
    DevBase Dev
)
{
    System.Console.WriteLine ( "DevBase" ) ;

    if ( Dev is Dev1 ) SetDev ( (Dev1) Dev ) ;
    else if ( Dev is Dev2 ) SetDev ( (Dev2) Dev ) ;

    return ;

Or perhaps SetDevice should handle determining which type of device it was passed.

b = new B();
b is A

b = new B();
b.GetType() == typeof(A)

b = new B();
a = new A();

typeof(A).ToString();
typeof(B).toString();

a.GetType().toString();
b.GetType().toString();
