How to get the type of T from a member of a generic class or method?

Question

Let say I have a generic member in a class or method, so:

public class Foo
{
    public List Bar { get; set; }

    public void Baz()
    {         


        

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, your list has the same type parameter as the container class itself. If this is the case, then:

Type typeParameterType = typeof(T);

If you are in the lucky situation of having object as a type parameter, see Marc's answer.
