Get a Type reference

Microsoft .NET Framework, ASP.NET, Visual C# (CSharp, C Sharp, C-Sharp) Developer Training, Visual Studio

This C# code snippet uses three different methods to obtain a Type reference to a given type—in this case type int.

Console.WriteLine (typeof (int));
 
Console.WriteLine (Type.GetType ("System.Int32"));
 
Console.WriteLine (new int().GetType());

All three approaches output "System.Int32" for type int.
