HowDoI Test and object for type... 2

[sqlsamurai]

I want to test an object for type and I'm not sure how.

Here is the object:
My.Settings("StartDate")

I want to test the value to see what type it is.

Like this

If My.Settings("StartDate").GetType = DateTime then
...
End IF

Could somebody help?

Hi.

When you add a setting, you specify its type.... so you know what it is. Anyway ..

If My.Settings("StartDate").GetType.ToString() = DateTime then

My.Settings("StartDate").GetType is DateTime

TypeOf My.Settings("StartDate") is DateTime

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. ;-) In the end this is what I used.

If My.Settings("StartDate").GetType.Equals(GetType(Date)) Then
End If

Hi, just to undo my mistake..

If My.Settings("StartDate").GetType.ToString().ToLower() = "system. bla bla" then
