GetType()

Sep 3 2012 5:34 PM
This program is given in the following C# Corner website http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Forums/Thread/153399/.

Problem with this code
string type = p.GetType().Name.ToLower();

In order to get the type p.GetType() is understood but to have it all lowercase letters it must be (p.GetType()).ToLower();

Please explain how did "Name" come in between? Problem is highlighted in the program.

using System;

interface person
{
String Name { get; set; }
}

class Poster : person
{
public String Name { get; set; }
}

class President : person
{
public String Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Poster po = new Poster();
po.Name = "Michell";
PrintDetails(po);

President pr = new President();
pr.Name = "Barack";
pr.Age = 50;
PrintDetails(pr);

Console.ReadKey();
}

static void PrintDetails(person p)
{
string type = p.GetType().Name.ToLower();
char initial = p.Name[0];

Console.WriteLine("{0} is a {1} and his initial is {2}", p.Name, type, initial);
}
}
/*
Michell is a poster and his initial is M
Barack is a president and his initial is B
*/
