Question

I have a simple function:

public string getType(object obj) {
    Type type = obj.getType();
    return type.FullName;
}

If you use this function on a string object, which was created on runtime, the function returns "System.RuntimeType"…

But it should return "System.String"…

Answer 1

If you call it like this –

string a = "";
string type = getType(a);

It will return System.String

But if you call like this –

string a = "";
string type = getType(a.GetType());

Then it will return System.RuntimeType

Also, there is small typo in your method –

Type type = obj.getType(); should be Type type = obj.GetType();
