Type.AssemblyQualifiedName for fields


Is there a way to get something like the Type.AssemblyQualifiedName property, which differentiates between a List of strings and a List of bytes, from a System.Reflection.FieldInfo?

The FieldInfo.GetFullName() method doesn't differentiate between the 2, and I need to be able to get the offset of a field, and still differentiate between List of strings and a List of bytes.


Solution

  • You could access the field's type by looking at the FieldType property of your FieldInfo object.

    EDIT

    I stand corrected. Type.Name will not do what you want. You could use Type.AssemblyQualifiedName as you suggest or you could access the types directly by looking at the result of Type.GetGenericArguments().
