GetType() and Typeof() in C#

Question

itemVal = \"0\";

res = int.TryParse(itemVal, out num);

if ((res == true) && (num.GetType() == typeof(byte)))  
    return true;
else
   return false;  // goes          


        

Answer 1

If you wanna check if this int value would fit a byte, you might test the following;

int num = 0;
byte b = 0;

if (int.TryParse(itemVal, out num) && byte.TryParse(itemVal, b))
{
    return true; //Could be converted to Int32 and also to Byte
}
