What the difference between these two?
System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
and
GetType(Integer)
Or more specifically, why does GetType(Integer) work, but not
System.Type.GetType(Integer)? What namespace is the GetType function(?) part
of?
I'm confused.

Greg, System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
You are calling a shared method of the System.Type class.
GetType(Integer)
You are using a VB.NET keyword.
Or more specifically, why does GetType(Integer) work, but not
System.Type.GetType(Integer)?
Type.GetType's parameter is defined to be a String, while the GetType
keyword requires the type identifier.
What namespace is the GetType function(?) part of?
Being a keyword GetType(Integer) is not part of any namespace. Remember in
VS.NET keywords are normally Blue, while identifiers (members of classes)
are normally Black.
Hope this helps

A keyword! Doh!
Well since this is VB.NET keyword, what would the equivalent be for C#?
Passing the type as a string with System.Type.GetType("System.Int32") seems
crude. Why would you ever need/want to do this?
Thanks Jay

Hi,
I am currently using the base class GetType() in the
following way and was woundering if there was a different
way of looking at types and doing a comparison for
equality.
Thanks Ron

Turns out it's possible to spoof another type with Object.GetType
