Typeof GetType is 的区别



Typeof GetType is 的区别

typeof takes a type name (which you specify at compile time).

GetType gets the runtime type of an instance.

is returns true if an instance is in the inheritance tree.

Example

class Animal { } 
class Dog : Animal { }

void PrintTypes(Animal a) { 
    print(a.GetType() == typeof(Animal)) // false 
    print(a is Animal)                   // true 
    print(a.GetType() == typeof(Dog))    // true
}

Dog spot = new Dog(); 
PrintTypes(spot);

Typeof(T)

Example

string Foo<T>(T object) { return typeof(T).Name; }

Animal probably_a_dog = new Dog();
Dog    definitely_a_dog = new Dog();

Foo(probably_a_dog); // this calls Foo<Animal> and returns "Animal"
Foo<Animal>(probably_a_dog); // this is exactly the same as above
Foo<Dog>(probably_a_dog); // !!! This will not compile. The parameter expects a Dog, you cannot pass in an Animal.

Foo(definitely_a_dog); // this calls Foo<Dog> and returns "Dog"
Foo<Dog>(definitely_a_dog); // this is exactly the same as above.
Foo<Animal>(definitely_a_dog); // this calls Foo<Animal> and returns "Animal". 
Foo((Animal)definitely_a_dog); // this does the same as above, returns "Animal"
