Robert, The TypeName function will still work, but the ".NET way" to do this is to use GetType(), as Serdar suggested. Actually, you should use <object>.GetType().ToString(), since GetType() returns a Type object.
I don't know whether either TypeName or GetType will work with ATL objects. My guess is that both will, but try them and tell us, please.
