c# names for FCL Types

[lennin]

Hello Everyone!

do you people know of any function in the framework to translate FCL
Type names of primitives to c# type names?. i.e. CSharp.GetName(
Type type )

CSharp.GetName( typeof(System.Int32)) == "int"
CSharp.GetName( typeof(System.Void)) == "void"


Thanks,

Lennin

I think you can do it with the C# CodeDom support. But since there are
so few of them it's probably easier to use your own translation table.

Yes.

private static string GetCsTypeName(CodeTypeReference type)
{
if (type == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("type");
using (CodeDomProvider cs =
CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp"))
return cs.GetTypeOutput(type);
}
