C# getting its own class name

For Visual Studio, I want to create a class template and use a string field that holds the name of a class itself. Is it possible?

For example:

public class MyClass
{
     public string TAG = GetClassName(this);
}       

Answer 1

When talking about non-static methods use Object.GetType Method which returns the exact runtime type of the instance (a reference to an instance of the Type Class):

this.GetType().Name

When talking about static methods, use MethodBase Class and its GetCurrentMethod Method :

Type t = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType;
//t.Name 

However, see this post on SO for more info on this.
