How to get a class name of an object?

[K Viltersten]

Normally, when one prints out an object,
ToString() is called and it contains the name
of the class that the object is of.

Now, i'd like to override it, so that instead
of it returning
"ThatCoolClass"
it will return
"An instance of ThatCoolClass class"
but i don't know how to obtain the name...

This is one option:-

public override string ToString()
{
return "An instance of " + GetType().Name +" class";
}

Ah, System.Type seems to be a very nice tool
in my case. Thanks!
