Getting the name of the declaring class?

Question

Suppose I got a parent class and a child class:

public abstract class Parent
{
    public string GetParentName()
    {
        return GetType().Name;
    }
}

public class Child : Parent
{
    public string GetChildName()
    {
        return GetType().Name;
    }
}

As of current, both GetParentName() and GetChildName() will return Child.

However, in my scenario, I'd like to get the name of the class in which the method is declared.

Thus GetChildName() should return Child but GetParentName() should return Parent.

Is this by any means possible?

NOTE:

I understand that I could use GetType().BaseType.Name but this won't work since the hierarchy could be complex.

You want this, I think:

return MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.Name;
