Examples

The following example uses the VbTypeName function to return data type names for several variables.

Dim sysDateName As String = "System.DateTime"  
Dim sysShortName As String = "Int16"  
Dim sysBadName As String = "Nonsense"  
Dim testVbName As String  
testVbName = VbTypeName(sysDateName)   
' Returns "Date".  
testVbName = VbTypeName(sysShortName)   
' Returns "Short".  
testVbName = VbTypeName(sysBadName)   
' Returns Nothing.  

Remarks

This module supports the Visual Basic language keywords and run-time library members that provide error information, validate data, determine array bounds, and retrieve data type and color information.
