System.TypeCode Enumeration

Summary

Specifies the type of an object.

C# Syntax:

[Serializable] public enum TypeCode

Call the IConvertible.GetTypeCode method on classes that implement the IConvertible interface to obtain the type code for an instance of that class.

Otherwise, call an object's Object.GetType method to obtain its Type object, then call the Type object's Type.GetTypeCode method to obtain the object's type code.
