Switch Case on type of object (C#)

I have a method signature that looks like this:

    public static TLocalType ToLocalType<TLocalType, TContract>(TContract contract)
    {

I would like to be able to do different things based on the actual type of TContract (ie call different methods). Is there a way to do something like this?

        switch (TContract)
        {
             case SomeTypeHere:

Unfortunately, the best you can do is

switch(typeof(TContract).ToString()) 

Note that this includes namespaces.
Note also that it will ignore inheritance and interfaces.

Peter Hallam explains why the language doesn’t support this.
