Refering to a type staticly

[Dave Rudolf]

Hi all,

I am curious if there is a way to refer to a class type without having to
create an instance of a type, and to GetType() on it. For instance, in Java,
I could do something like

Class classType = String.class;

I assume that there is something similar in C#?

Thanks,

Dave.

Type type = typeof(string);
