Is there a way to say something like:

sizeof(type)? Or type.Size?

Right now I am looking at using code like:

if (type.Equals(typeof(int)))
    return sizeof(int);
else if (type.Equals(typeof(long)))
    return sizeof(long);

etc, etc, for every single data type.

There must be an cleaner solution, no?
