Returns the underlying type of the specified enumeration.
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _ Public Shared Function GetUnderlyingType ( _ enumType As Type _ ) As Type
Dim enumType As Type Dim returnValue As Type returnValue = Enum.GetUnderlyingType(enumType)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public static Type GetUnderlyingType( Type enumType )
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public: static Type^ GetUnderlyingType( Type^ enumType )
public static function GetUnderlyingType( enumType : Type ) : Type
enumType is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
enumType is not an Enum.
The following code sample illustrates the use of GetUnderlyingType :
Shared Function GetAsUnderlyingType(enval As [Enum]) As Object Dim entype As Type = enval.GetType() Dim undertype As Type = [Enum].GetUnderlyingType(entype) Return Convert.ChangeType(enval, undertype) End Function
static object GetAsUnderlyingType(Enum enval) { Type entype = enval.GetType(); Type undertype = Enum.GetUnderlyingType(entype); return Convert.ChangeType( enval, undertype ); }
Object^ GetAsUnderlyingType( Enum ^ enval ) { Console::WriteLine( "GetAsUnderlying" ); Type^ entype = enval->GetType(); Type^ undertype = Enum::GetUnderlyingType( entype ); return Convert::ChangeType( (Object^)(enval), undertype ); }
static function GetAsUnderlyingType(enval : Enum) : Object { var entype : Type = enval.GetType(); var undertype : Type = Enum.GetUnderlyingType(entype); return Convert.ChangeType( enval, undertype ); }
