Hi all,
We are using C# to script our InDesign Server. The problem is that everywhere we're getting type of Object. In VB, you can use "typename" to find out the actual type. In C#, I can't find an equivalent fucntion. So there is no way to find out what the type of the object is(Rectangle, TextFrame, etc.). I have been looking at this for a while and it is driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance.
