Type.GetType()

[Andrew Chalk]

After the following line:

Type myType1 = Type.GetType("System.Drawing.Color");

myType1 is "undefined". Why is this? I expected it to be type
System.Drawing.Color.

Many thanks.

Considering specifying the assembly name.

System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing

Thanks. Same result.

Is there any other way to check that type of an object? Or to manually
construct a Type to test an object.GetType() against?

How odd, it worked for me. You might need to specify the fully quantified
name if it's sitting in the GAC, meaning passing in a public token, culture,
version....

you can check what type an object is via the "is" operator

if (myObject is Drawing)
{
}
