True Shape object Type in release mode

Question

I have such XAML:

<Canvas Name="c">
<Rectangle/>
<Rectangle/>
<Image/>
</Canvas>

now when I iterate such XAML in c#

string s = "";
foreach (object o in c.Children)             
{          
	s += o.GetType().Name;
}

Next I try to run such code in Debug and Release modes.

In debug mode it gives right class names but in release mode it it gives "Shape" as Rectangle class name.

How to solve this problem, I needs right name in Debug and Release Run modes.

Hi @BitSmithy ,

Special treatment of specific controls directly, it seems that it can be used as a workaround, you can try this.

string s = "";
foreach (object o in c.Children)
{
    if (o.GetType() == typeof(Rectangle))
    {
        s += "Rectangle";
    }
    else
    {
        s += o.GetType().Name;
    }

}

Thank you.
