VB.Net - Get the byte size of type

Question

How can I get the byte size of a type ? For exemple, the size of a Double is 8, but how can I get this value programmatically ?

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

You can use the Marshal.SizeOf-Method, which will return the size in bytes.

You can use it like that:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(GetType(Double))
