If you want to know the type use GetType Regards Hansjörg

string str = "hello" Type t = str.GetType(); everything derives from Object, which defines the GetType method. So, this also works int i = 10 Type t = i.GetType();

TypeDescriptor.GetConverter()

I assume that you have a string representing a type (like "System.String") and you want the System.Type corresponding to System.String: Type ct = Type.GetType("System.String", true); // True throws an exception if the type is not found. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson
