Question

C# 3.5 : How do I get the name of the parent class dynamically from within a UserControl?

For example,

If TestPage.aspx contains UserControl ucTestUc,

I need to know that the parent class is TestPage.

I tried: from within ucTestUc,

this.Parent.NamingContainer is ASP.testpage_aspx .

Which is close, but no cigar.

I could get rid of the prefix and postfix, but I have no way of restoring the capitalization.

?

Answer 1

string typeName = this.Page.GetType().Name;

string baseTypeName = this.Page.GetType().BaseType.Name;

string fileName = Path.GetFileName(Request.PhysicalPath);
