Sorry - no, that will simply exit the loop after the first item.
I should have said - Why doesn't this compile?
There's nothing wrong with the loop construct - the issue has to do with the compiler barfing on the "subject is target" line - the is construct apparently can't be used with an instance of a type.

Why doesn't this work?
public bool IsIn(object subject, params Type[] targetTypes)
{
foreach (Type target in targetTypes)
{
if (subject is target)
return true;
}
return false;
}

If "subject is traget", you get a "true", but the loop does not stop.
So you get a "false" right after that.
This might work, because you get either "true" or "false", but never both.
public bool IsIn(object subject, params Type[] targetTypes)
{
foreach (Type target in targetTypes) {
if (subject is target)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
