How can I get the Page Type for the current page. I tried

CurrentPage.GetType();

but no success. I need to check if the Page Type equals a specific type in order to do something or not.

Thanks

You need to check the PageTypeName or PageTypeID properties, like this:

if(CurrentPage.PageTypeName == "StartPage")
    // Do something

Check the reference: http://sdk.episerver.com/library/cms5/html/AllMembers_T_EPiServer_Core_PageData.htm

The GetType() method is declared on System.Object and returns the System.Type for the object. Is is available on all types in the .NET Framework since all types inherit from System.Object.
