Type::GetTypeCode Method
Visual Studio 2010
Gets the underlying type code of the specified Type.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- type
- Type: System::Type
The type whose underlying type code to get.
When you inherit from Type, you can change the behavior of this method by overriding the GetTypeCodeImpl method.
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.
void WriteObjectInfo( Object^ testObject ) { 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, testObject ); break; } }
