C# | Getting the type of the current instance
Object.GetType Method is used to find the type of the current instance. This method returns the instances of the Type class that are used for consideration.
Syntax:
public Type GetType ();
Return Value: This method return the exact runtime type of the current instance.
Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:
Example 1:
using System;
class GFG {
static public void Main()
{
string str1 = "GFG" ;
string str2 = "5" ;
Console.WriteLine( "Type of str1: " +str1.GetType());
Console.WriteLine( "Type of str2: " +str2.GetType());
}
}
|
Output:
Type of str1: System.String
Type of str2: System.String
Example 2:
using System;
class GFG {
static public void Main()
{
string str1 = "C#" ;
string str2 = "DSA" ;
int str3 = 43;
Console.WriteLine( "Str 1 is : {0}" , str1);
Console.WriteLine( "Str 2 is : {0}" , str2);
Console.WriteLine( "Str 3 is : {0}" , str3);
Console.WriteLine( "Is Str 1 and Str 2 of same type? : {0}" ,
Object.ReferenceEquals(str1.GetType(), str2.GetType()));
Console.WriteLine( "Is Str 2 and Str 3 of same type? : {0}" ,
Object.ReferenceEquals(str2.GetType(), str3.GetType()));
Console.WriteLine( "Is Str 3 and Str 2 of same type? : {0}" ,
Object.ReferenceEquals(str3.GetType(), str2.GetType()));
}
}

Output:
Str 1 is : C#
Str 2 is : DSA
Str 3 is : 43
Is Str 1 and Str 2 of same type? : True
Is Str 2 and Str 3 of same type? : False
Is Str 3 and Str 2 of same type? : False
