You can determine the type of the Item1 component in one of two ways:

• By calling the GetType method on the value that is returned by the Item1 property.

• By retrieving the Type object that represents the Tuple<T1> object, and retrieving the first element from the array that is returned by its Type.GetGenericArguments method.

The example illustrates both approaches.
