    The equivalent to the TypeOf keyword is the class literal as defined here.

    You can also use the getClass() instance method to obtain the Class of a specific object.

    public class MyClass
    {
       public int intI;
       public void MyMeth()
       {
       }

       public static void main(String[] arg)
       {
          Class c = MyClass.class;

          // alternatively, you could use
          MyClass t1 = new MyClass();
          Class c2 = t1.getClass();

          Method[] methods= c.getMethods();
          ....

          Field[] field= c.getFields();
          ....
       }
    }

    For more info on the java.lang.Class type, look at the JavaDoc for your JDK.

    In simple terms if...

    in .NET
    setDBColumn("ColName", TypeOf(String));

    then in Java
    setDBColumn("ColName", String.class);
