Difference between Type.GetType() and Object.GetType()

Answer:

Both methods are used for extracting datatype related information and are defined in Type

and Object classes.

Type.GetType() does not need a variable or object reference .It can be directly used.

example:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("eno", Type.GetType("System.Int32"));
dt.Columns.Add("ename", Type.GetType("System.String"));

Object.GetType(): needs a variable or an object reference,
example:
int a=30;
//int is indirectly derived from the Object class.

Console.WriteLine(a.GetType().Name);
