C# Reflection Type.Name consists solely of generic brackets on non-generic class

Question

I have a class in an assembly I am reflecting through:

public class Example
{
    public List<int> things;
}

When reflecting over the assembly and grabbing type.Name:

foreach(var type in typeof(Example).Assembly.GetTypes())
    var hold = type.Name;

What is stored in the variable hold is just generic brackets, <> , and the type.FullName is Example+<> . What is going on? This works with every other class in the assembly. This class does have two partial files, neither define it to be generic though.

Answer 1

These types are generated by the compiler to help make your code work.

They come from lambdas, iterators, or anonymous types.
