FullName of generic type without assembly info?

I have a database table where I store the height, width, state, et cetera, of windows. As identifier for the windows I use the full type name of form. It works well, but I discovered that some forms that are generic gets names which are incredibly long. The reason is that the generic type is listed with full assembly information. Is there a way to skip that?

For example the full name of a regular form would look like this:

Some.Name.Space.NameOfForm

But the full name of a generic form looks like this:

Some.Name.Space.NameOfForm`1[[Some.Other.Name.Space.GenericType, AssemblyName, Version=1.开发者_StackOverflow社区0.2.0, Cuntulre=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

Why does it get so long? Is there a way I can get a shorter version? For example something like:

Some.Name.Space.NameOfForm`1[[Some.Other.Name.Space.GenericType]]

Any clues?


I agree with dbemerlin in that your end goal seems odd, but I just wanted to point out that

GetType().ToString();

seems to return a shorter version of the typename (w/o the assembly information of the generic arguments).

I guess this could be handy for a more human readable version of the type name.


I guess the Type used for the generic class depends on a specific assembly (as do most of the .NET classes) so i don't think you will get anything else without creating this string manually by reflection or string parsing.

OTOH i don't think using type names as keys is a good idea, maybe you should think about getting some other key (but i do not know the requirements, so i cannot recommend something else)
