Get the name of class inheriting from base class in C#

Question

I have the following base class

class BaseClass
{
//Want to get the name of class A only, even if B is inherited from A
}

class A : BaseClass
{
}

class B : A
{
}

Can someone help me with getting the name of class A only from the base class.

Thanks

Answer 1

public abstract class BaseClass
{
  public void GetInheritorName()
  {
    var nameIs = this.InheritorTellMeYourName();
  }

  protected abstract string InheritorTellMeYourName();
}

public class A : BaseClass
{
  protected sealed override string InheritorTellMeYourName()
  {
     return typeof(A).Name;
  }
}

public class B : A
{
}

Like someone mentioned in the comments, you shouldn't usually need anything like that...
