Calling GetType() on a will obviously return a type of Array. Is it possible to get the type of the items the array contains?
Obviously a[0].GetType() would work, but then the array could be empty and cause a null reference exception.
Well, you can get the element type of the array:
(That’s not quite the same as getting the types of the items in the array – an
object[]may be entirely populated with strings, for example.)
