Re: Alernative for Gettype

What you try to do, getting the type of System, is not valid, since System
is not a type but a Namespace.
If you want to get the type of a real type, e.g. Control, you can use

Dim ty as Type = GetType(System.Windows.Forms.Control)

There is an alternative: If you hold a reference to an object, you can use
the following:

            Dim ctrl As System.Windows.Forms.Control
            Dim ty As Type = ctrl.GetType
