There are two ways, you can do it from managed land directly: Type t = ...; return t.TypeHandle.Value;
This will give you a MonoType* (which is easy to convert to a MonoClass*). The other option is pretty shitty, due to a silly limitation in mono's embedding API. What you do is fetch the _impl field using mono_field_get_value MonoType *type; mono_field_get_value (obj, _impl_field, &type); On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 12:50 AM, Jonathan Shore <jonathan.sh...@gmail.com>wrote: > I have a method call that returns System.Type.
