Right - but what I want to do is get the type object for 'int' that 
would be returned by that call in C#.

I realise that what Python understands as 'int' is a different thing to 
what C# understands as int.

Thanks for the other info. I see that 'Type.GetType' works when you pass 
in a fully qualified type name - but I swear I saw an example in C# that 
didn't. I'm trying to find it now and failing ! I give up. Perhaps I 
hallucinated it.

All the best,
