Question

How can I call this constructor ?

public class DataField
{
    public String Name;
    public Type TheType;
    public DataField(string name, Type T)
    {
        Name = name;
        TheType = T;
    }
}

I thought of

f = new DataField("Name",typeof(new String()));

but I want to avoid object creation.
So is this one ok ?

f = new DataField("Name",String);

You can use a type name with typeof:

f = new DataField("Name", typeof(string));
