It's a double replacement reaction. Correctly written, it's NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq). You can see in the equation that the sodium replaces the silver, and the silver replaces the sodium, hence the reaction type. The (aq) indicates a substance in solution, and the (s) represents a precipitate.
