Is there any way I can create a System::Type object representing a DateTime object without a DateTime object?

Question

Wanted for property grid, in the PropertyType function of the class derived from PropertyDescriptor, but I don't want an actual DateTime object - I'll just convert it to and from String in SetValue and GetValue.

Answer 1

Type the following

Type t = typeof(DateTime);

C++/CLI equivalent as asked for in comments

Type^ t = DateTime::typeid;
