Specifies the type of an object.
Syntax
public enum TypeCode
Remarks
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(Type) method to obtain the object's type code.
Members
| Member Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean |
A simple type representing Boolean values of true or false. |
| Byte |
An integral type representing unsigned 8-bit integers with values between 0 and 255. |
