If I have:

interface A {}
class B : A {}

void printClass(A obj){
    // Code here
}

Is there any way that I can find out what class obj is inside of printClass? I know I can cast and check if(cast(B)obj) but I want to just be able to do something along the lines of obj.class. I can think of other solutions but just wondering if something like this was possible.

There's a .classinfo property that works on Objects.

If you have an interface, cast to Object first, and check for null, then get .classinfo off that.

I tried this but it will return A not B

Are you sure you correctly casted first?
