How do I do typeof(int) in Managed C++?

Question

I am working on a project now and part of it uses Managed C++. In the managed C++ code, I am creating a DataTable. While defining the Columns for the datatable, I need to specify the Type of the column. In C#, that would: typeof(int) but how do I do that in Managed C++? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

In C++/CLI, use the typeid keyword.

e.g.

```
Type ^t = Int32::typeid;
```

In the older "Managed C++ Extensions" syntax, you'd use `__typeof(Int32)`, but that whole version of the language is severely deprecated and you should be using C++/CLI.
