What's the VB equivalent of the C# typeof() operator (it doesn't appear to
be the VB "TypeOf" operator).  Thanks.

In C#,

    Type t = typeof( String);

In VB.NET,

    Dim t As Type = GetType( String);

Some of the same keywords have deceptively similar, but different, meanings
between VB and C#:
VB’s global GetType method is equivalent to C#’s typeof operator,
VB’s TypeOf–Is operator is equivalent to C#’s “is” operator,
and of course, "Is" in VB is "==" in C#...

Michael,

If typeof ctr Is Label then

Is that what you mean?

Michael,
As the others suggest the GetType keyword is equivalent to C#'s typeof
keyword.

Not to be confused with the Type.GetType method/function.

The GetType keyword expects an identifier, while Type.GetType expects a
String.

    Dim t1 As Type = GetType(Integer)
    Dim t2 As Type = Type.GetType("System.Int32")

For known types I find the GetType keyword is better as you receive compile
errors if you miss type the identifier. I reserve Type.GetType for types
that are only known at runtime, such as ones read from my app.config or XML
schema files.

Hope this helps
Jay
