Check specific class type (exclude descendants)

[matt.baker]

What's the preferred way to check if a dynamic wire is carrying a specific object type (excluding descendants)?

At the moment I'm using the built-in "Get LV Class Name" function and a string comparison to see if the two values match. However, string comparison in this situation just feels wrong.

Wire the class through a for loop with the count set to 0 - this will return a default instance of the wired class. Then, check that value against the class constant.

That's an elegant solution for getting a class' default value that I wasn't aware of. I thought it was going to fail on upcast/more generic wires, but it still works.
Thanks
