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

How can I make GetType() accessible from a static method?

I have this abstract base class

abstract class MyBase
{
   public static void MyMethod()
   {
      var myActualType = GetType(); // this is an instance method
      doSomethingWith(myActualType);
   }
}

and an implementation of that class. (I could have many implementations.)

class MyImplementation : MyBase 
{
    // stuff
}

How can I get myActualType to be typeof(MyImplementation)?

Answer 1

This is the pattern i used.

abstract class MyBase
{
   public static void MyMethod(Type type)
   {
      doSomethingWith(type);
   }
}
