Gets the pointer to the `System.RuntimeType` of a `NetObject` object or a .NET type name.

Returns a `NetObject` object with external pointer to the object of type `System.RuntimeType` that represents the type of the .NET object. To get a string representation of the type, call `toStringNET` on the returned object.

Usage

getType(objOrTypename)

Arguments

objOrTypename

An object of class `NEtObject` or a character vector of length one. It can be the full file name of the assembly to load, or a fully qualified assembly name, or as a last resort a partial name.

Value

A `NetObject` to the pointer of `System.RuntimeType` of `objOrTypename`.

Examples

testClassName <- "ClrFacade.TestObject"
type <- getType(testClassName)
toStringNET(type)
#> [1] "ClrFacade.TestObject"

testObj <- newObjectFromName(testClassName)
type <- getType(testObj)
toStringNET(type)
#> [1] "ClrFacade.TestObject"
