How can I get the data type of a variable in C#?

Question

How can I find out what data type some variable is holding? (e.g. int, string, char, etc.)

I have something like this now:

using System;
using System         


        

Answer 1

One option would be to use a helper extension method like follows:

public static class MyExtensions
{
    public static System.Type Type(this T v)=>typeof(T);
}

var i=0;
console.WriteLine(i.Type().FullName);
