There is no way to the a MonoType* from a MonoReflectionType*
than getting it from Type.TypeHandle.Value.

Here is a solution for your problem:


[MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
public static extern String GetName(IntPtr typeHandle);

public static String GetName(Type type)
{
     return GetName (type.TypeHandle.Value);
}

MonoString *ves_icall_XXX_ GetName(MonoType *type)
{
...
}
