Type.GetTypeCode() Method in C#

The Type.GetTypeCode() method in C# is used to get the underlying type code of the specified Type.

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

public static TypeCode GetTypeCode (Type type);

Above, the type parameter is the type whose underlying type code to get.

Example

Let us now see an example to implement the Type.GetTypeCode() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Type type1 = typeof(double);
      TypeCode type2 = Type.GetTypeCode(type1);
      Console.WriteLine("TypeCode = "+type2);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

TypeCode = Double

Example

Let us now see another example to implement the Type.GetTypeCode() method −

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Type type1 = typeof(short);
      TypeCode type2 = Type.GetTypeCode(type1);
      Console.WriteLine("TypeCode = "+type2);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

TypeCode = Int16
