What is equivelant to VB.NET GetType()

[Daniel Billingsley]

Using this keyword in VB I can do

Dim typeData As Type = GetType(myClass )

which returns a Type of course. I can't find quite the same thing in C# or
the framework.

Will the following meet the needs like the above VB code? (If so, then why
the keyword in VB???)

Type typeData = Type.GetType("m yClass")

If "myClass" is the name of your class, you can use typeof(myClass) . If
it's an instance of your class, you can use myClass.GetType ().

Thanks to both of you, that worked poifect.

Pardon me for being a bit misleading... I should have used MyClass as I
indeed meant to refer to the class, not an instance object.
