Equivalent to C# typeof()?

[Steve Brecher]

AppSettingsReader.GetValue method:

Public Function GetValue( _
ByVal key As String, _
ByVal type As Type _
) As Object

In C#, I would invoke this, e.g., with:
myConfigReader.GetValue("param", typeof(string))

What would I pass for the type parameter in VB.NET?

Steve,

myConfigReader.GetValue("param", Type.GetType("String"))

gettype

 

[Steve Brecher]

myConfigReader.GetValue("param", Type.GetType("String"))

That was a good hint; I'll use:

myConfigReader.GetValue("param", GetType(String))
