Is there an easy way to get Type object from C# type name

Question

I want to create Type object from string value, e.g., "int", "long". I know I can create Type object from .net framework type name, like Type t = Type.GetType("System.Int32").

Is there a built-in way to do same from C# type, "int", "long".

Answer 1

The .Net framework itself (including the Reflection library) is completely unaware of C#'s type keywords.
Therefore, you'll need to do this youself.

You can create a Dictionary<string, Type>.

Answer 2

Check out Reflection.

Answer 3

Given I didn't understand your question here is a link to this question asked previously

typeof(int), typeof(string);
