Is there an easy way to determine font size in C #?

Question

Is there a way to say something like:

SizeOf (type)? Or enter. The size?

Now I'm looking at using code like:

if (type.Equals(typeof(int))) return sizeof(int); else if (type.Equals(typeof(long))) return sizeof(long); 

etc. for each individual data type.

There should be a cleaner solution, no?

Answer 1

Try Marshal.SizeOf ()

Answer 2

If it's for data access, you can do type.GetTypeCode () (which is a member of IConvertible), which gives you a good listing for inclusion.

Answer 3

Take a look at these questions:

• Getting field size in bytes with C #
• How to get the size of an object in HttpRuntime.Cache?
• Find out the size of the .net object

In particular, read the answers posted by Jon Skeet .

Answer 4

Maybe you can go Convert.ToString(type.MaxValue, 2).Length / 8
