public static TypeCode GetTypeCode(
  Type type
)

Parameters

Type.GetTypeCode has the following parameters.

• type - The type whose underlying type code to get.

Returns

Example

The following code example demonstrates how the TypeCode enumeration can be used. In a decision block inside the WriteObjectInfo method, the TypeCode of an Object parameter is examined, and an appropriate message is written to the console.

/* ww  w . j a  v a  2  s  .c o  m*/
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    object testObject = "java2s.com";
    TypeCode    typeCode = Type.GetTypeCode( testObject.GetType() );
    switch( typeCode )
    {
        case TypeCode.Boolean:
            Console.WriteLine("Boolean: {0}", testObject);
            break;

        case TypeCode.Double:
            Console.WriteLine("Double: {0}", testObject);
            break;

        default:
            Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", typeCode.ToString(), testObject);
            break;
    }
  }
}
    

The code above generates the following result.
