typeof()

[J Arrizza]

typeof returns the type of the object given to it:

    SomeClass sc;
    typeof(sc)  // returns SomeClass

    Object o = sc;
    typeof(o) // returns Object

Is there a way or call to get the underlying type?:

    typeof2(o) //returns SomeClass

I checked the online doc, but nothing in the Declarations section that I
could see.

Thanks
John
