Reflection

Mykonine21y ago

I hit this problem myself yesterday. Using Type.GetType("System.Drawing.Bitmap") and Type.GetType("System.Drawing.Size") both failed. I had a workaround: Bitmap temporaryBmp = new Bitmap(1,1); Type bitmapType = temporaryBmp.GetType(); temporaryBmp.Dispose(); So in your case, Type MyType = (someObjectWithTheTypeYouWant).GetType(); It probably has to do with System.Drawing being in a different assembly than System.Reflection.

Type MyType = Type.GetType("System.Reflection.PropertyInfo"); <- this one works Type MyType = Type.GetType(" System.Drawing.Color"); <- This one fails because of the space at the beginning of the string param.

Hi Maybe it helps to prepend the assembly name. Also i would suggest to switch on the exception trowing (with the overloaded version). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemtypeclassgettypetopic.asp Simon
