How can I get the name type of a parameter at runtime?

So I have a MethodInfo object m that I'm testing and I want to extract the type of a parameter. For instance, I want "int" and string from the following. 

public void SomeMethod ( int i, string s )
{
   // ... 
}

When I run 

ParameterInfo pinf = m.GetParameters.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "i");

then

ping.GetType().Name

it returns "RuntimeParameterInfo".

So what do I actually need to be doing to get "int"?

This is an example I made up, but the idea comes from a unit test I'm writing.
