.NET: Determine the type of “this” class in its static method

Hello is there any way to call non-static GetType() in non-static class without using typeof()?

Here is example of my code that I’m working on.

private static ISession GetOrCreate(ISessionFactory factory)
{
    if (HttpContext.Current!=null)
    {
        ISession session = GetExistingWebSession();
        if (session == null)
        {
            session = OpenSessionAndAddToContext(factory);
        }
        else if (!session.IsOpen)
        {
            session = OpenSessionAndAddToContext(factory);
        }            return session;
    }
}

private ISession GetExistingWebSession()
{
    return HttpContext.Current.Items[GetType().FullName] as ISession;
}

You can’t call an instance method from a static method like this. It makes no sense at all.

Read more about static and instance methods on MSDN:

• Static Classes and Static Class Members (C# Programming Guide)
• 10.2.5 Static and instance members

What’s wrong with the typeof()?
