Answer / brijen.patel
TypeOf and GetType Produce the same information but the
difference is where they get theis information from;
typeOf is used to get the type based on a class, that means
if you use typeOf with object, it will gives you error. you
must pass class as parameter. Whereas GetType is used to
get the type based on as object (an instance of a class)
means GetType needs parameter of object rather than class name.

GetType is a call that is made at runtime on an instance of
an object.
typeof() is resolved to a call at runtime, but loads the
type from the token
for the type. They probably resolve to the same call, it's
just that
GetType requires an instance. If I didn't need the instance,
I would use
typeof.

Answer / saurabh
TypeOf(): It is an operator, which used to find the type of known type at the time of compilation of the program. It depends on the class or type and cannot pass the object or instance of the class as a parameter to the TypeOf() operator.
GetType(): This is the method, using this method we can obtain the type of the object or the type of instance of the class. To call this method we need an object or an instance of a class.
