Question

I have the following structure

public class MyClass : MyBaseClass<System.Int32> { } 

In a static method and without instantiating a new MyClass instance how do I get the type of the generic parameter used to build the concrete base class? e.g in the above example System.Int32

Answer 1

Try this

public static Type GetBaseTypeGenericArgument(Type type) {   return type.BaseType.GetGenericArguments()[0]; }  ... GetBaseTypeGenericArgument(typeof(MyClass));
