Not used in VC++
For managed code use typeid instead:
MyClassName::typeid
N.B. typeid isn't shown as an as you type option after :: but when fully typed it becomes blue to confirm the special keyword.
If using /clr:oldSyntax command line option you can use __typeof instead:
__typeof(MyClassName)
Examples
XmlSerializer ^XmlSerializer1 = gcnew XmlSerializer(MyClassName::typeid);
An example creating a type object:
Type^ attributeType = AssemblyFileVersionAttribute::typeid;
You can then use attributeType in place of typeof(###)
