Default value of a type

In C#, to get the default value of a Type, i can write...

var DefaultValue = default(bool);` 

But, how to get the same default value for a supplied Type variable?.

public object GetDefaultValue(Type ObjectType) {     return Type.GetDefaultValue();  // This is what I need } 

Or, in other words, what is the implementation of the "default" keyword?

I think that Frederik's function should in fact look like this:

public object GetDefaultValue(Type t) {     if (t.IsValueType)     {         return Activator.CreateInstance(t);     }     else     {         return null;     } }
