Get Current Class Name [duplicate]

Question

In Android, if I need to get name of current class, i can do something like:

private final _TAG = DummyActivity.this.getClass().getSimpleName();

this would return "DummyActivity"

I want to do same in C# WPF app code-behind. How do I get the name of current class?

this.GetType().Name; //this works only on instances of a class 

Looks like the only option is to hard-code it in C# like this:

private const string _TAG = "DummyWindow";

Answer 1

You can do it like this in C#:

private static string _TAG = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.Name;

This will work because initializing this field actually happens in the static constructor. I.e., MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod() returns the static constructor of the class.
