C# any way of accessing the class name of a static class via code?

Within a static class you cannot use the keyword "this" so I can't call this.GetType().GetFullName if I have

public static class My.Library.Class
{
    public static string GetName()
    {
    }
}

Is there anything I can call from within GetName that will ret开发者_如何学运维urn My.Library.Class

you can get the type of a predetermined class with:

typeof(My.Library.Class).FullName

If you need "the class that declares this method", you'll need to use

MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.FullName

However, there's a chance this method will be inlined by the compiler. You can shift this call to the static constructor / initialiser of the class (which will never be inlined - log4net recommends this approach):

namespace My.Library

    public static class Class
    {
        static string className = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.FullName;
        public static string GetName()
        {
             return className;
        }
    }
}

Applying [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)] might help, but you should really read up on that if you considering it

MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType.FullName

typeof(My.Library.Class).FullName
