GetType from object is returning RuntimeType
If you call it like this -
string a = "";
string type = getType(a);
It will return System.String
But if you call like this -
string a = "";
string type = getType(a.GetType());
Then it will return System.RuntimeType
Also, there is small typo
in your method -
Type type = obj.getType();
should be Type type = obj.GetType();
I guess you called it like this: getType(typeof(string))
. typeof(abc)
is a value of type Type
(or RuntimeType
which is an implementation detail).
Call it like this:
getType("")
