Answer 1

You're getting the type of the PropertyInfo object getProperty() returns. Try

string typeName = actualData.getType().getProperty("Item").PropertyType.Name;

If you want the type of the value currently assigned to the object via the PropertyInfo object, you could call:

string typeName = actualData.getType().getProperty("Item").GetValue(actualData, null).GetType().Name;

But in that case you could also simply call:

string typeName = actualData.Item.GetType().Name;
