Question

If I have a method signature like

public string myMethod( ... )

How can I, inside the method, get the name of the type that was g

Answer 1

Your code should work. typeof(T).FullName is perfectly valid. This is a fully compiling, functioning program:

using System;

class Program 
{
    public static string MyMethod()
    {
        return typeof(T).FullName;
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(MyMethod());

        Console.ReadKey();
    }

}

Running the above prints (as expected):

System.Int32
