0617 Array and pointer type names
<![CDATA[
Arrays present with the same suffix that you use in a typeof expression:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class MainClass
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(typeof(int[]).Name); // Int32[]
Console.WriteLine (typeof ( int[,] ).Name); // Int32[,]
Console.WriteLine (typeof ( int[,] ).FullName); // System.Int32[,]
}
}
The output:
Int32[]
Int32[,]
System.Int32[,]
Pointer types are similar:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class MainClass
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(typeof(byte*).Name); // Byte*
}
}
The output:
Byte*
