GetType within shared method

[Nick Pateman]

Hi there,

I'm trying to find the quickest way to get a type object of the current
class within any part of the class. For example,

Me.GetType < This works fine within an instance method but not in a
shared method

GetType(<nameoftype>) < This works fine but defeats the object

Any idea on how I can find it dynamically without having to write the
name of the type myself?

Cheers in advance.

Nick.

Try 'MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType'.
