3Firstly, you don't declare objects. You declare variables and assign objects to them. – jmcilhinney May 21 '19 at 13:27

Console.WriteLine(objTemp.GetType()) – May 21 '19 at 13:27

1TypeName() is a vb.net-specific helper function that speaks with a basic lisp. It behaves the way it did in previous Basic versions, [like VBA](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/typename-function). – Hans Passant May 21 '19 at 18:22

GetType() returns only 1 level when GetType().FullName gives you the entire mapping including the assembly.
Dim objTemp As System.Int32
Debug.Print(objTemp.GetType().FullName)

Please mark this as the correct answer if that's the result expected. Thanks! – Michaël Corriveau-Côté May 21 '19 at 14:45

Could you please add details to your proposed answer as to why the OP was getting an `Integer` instead of `System.Int32`. – Trevor May 21 '19 at 17:14
