Retrieving root namespace from within a module

[Oenone]

I am trying to write a generic piece of code that I can copy between
projects that uses the current project's root namespace as part of its
function.

I can easily retrieve this value when I am running in a class by doing the
following:

\\\
Dim namespace As String = Me.GetType.Namespace
///

This returns the value I am looking for. However, I want to be able to place
this code into a module. Me.GetType is not valid in this circumstance as
'Me' cannot be used within a module.

I can get this working by creating an instance of an arbitrary object within
my project and calling GetType on it, but as the classes differ from one
project to another I won't be able to copy-and-paste the code without having
to make changes to it.

Is there an easy way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

In a shared method, you can use

System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod.DeclaringType

to get the current type.

That's perfect, many thanks.
