How can you get the current class name without using StackTrace?

[Zytan]

Since the call stack can be changed in release, as functions are
inlined, how can you be certain to get the current class name of any
method that cares to know? Even IF it is an inlined method?

Seems impossible to do.

How about this.GetType()?

How about this.GetType()?

Ok, that returns the namespace, as well, but that should be good
enough.

Thanks,

How about this.GetType()?

Oh, wait, I had already tried that, and it didn't work because I need
it to work on static classes. There is no "this" for a static class.

Any more ideas?

Here's an example of something I use in a static method (should work in a static class too).

public static Type[] GetKnownTypes()
{
Type thisType = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType;
return thisType.Assembly.GetTypes().ToList<Type>().Where(t => t.IsSubclassOf(thisType)).ToArray();
}
