How to get the full type name?

Question

have a class, can I get the full type name in the form like A,B?

Answer 1

Use AssemblyQualifiedName on the Type instance:

typeof(string).AssemblyQualifiedName

Or:

typeof(YourClass).AssemblyQualifiedName

Also, if you have an instance of an object, and want to know the full type name from that; use GetType() to get the Type instance from the instance.

Answer 2

You can also use Type.FullName in case you're not interested in the assembly properties

Following your example:

typeof(A).FullName;

or from an instance of A:

anA.GetType().FullName;
