Question

How can I make this work?

switch(property.PropertyType){     case typeof(Boolean):          //doStuff         break;     case typeof(String):          //doOtherStuff         break;     default: break; } 

I don’t want to use the name since string comparing for types is just awfull and can be subject to change.

        System.Type propertyType = typeof(Boolean);         System.TypeCode typeCode = Type.GetTypeCode(propertyType);         switch (typeCode)         {             case TypeCode.Boolean:                 //doStuff                 break;             case TypeCode.String:                 //doOtherStuff                 break;             default: break;         } 

You can use an hybrid approach for TypeCode.Object where you dynamic if with typeof. This is very fast because for the first part – the switch – the compiler can decide based on a lookup table.
