C#: Get Parent Control with Generics

I use the following method to return a parent control of a specific type. This method is recursive and uses generics.

<br />
private Control GetParentControl(Control control)<br />
{<br />
if (control.Parent.GetType() == typeof(T1))<br />
{<br />
return control.Parent;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
return GetParentControl(control.Parent);<br />
}<br />
}</p>
