You could do test it like this:

var b = new B();

var asInterface = x as A;
if (asInterface == null) 
{
    //not of the interface A!
}

We found it practical to use the following:

IMyInterface = instance as IMyInterface;
if (intance != null)
{
//do stuff
}

'as' is the faster than 'is', also is saves a number of casts - if your instance impelments IMyInterface, you'll need no more casts.

Try to use is

if(b is A)
{
    // do something
}

is that what you want?
