What exactly do you expect/need to get for name2 ? Have a look at the code provided here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2579734/get-the-type-name

Hi Kunjahamed P, To getting its own class name you can use GetType() which provides the proper System.Type of the object at runtime as like following: sample sampleClass = new sample(); Console.WriteLine(sampleClass.GetType().Name); Output: sample For more details: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18279663/get-the-class-name-from-an-object-variable Hope, this will help you!

@pritaeas thanks, now working with following code static string GetTypeName (T expr) { return !expr.GetType().IsGenericType ? expr.GetType().Name : expr.GetType().GetGenericArguments().Select(x => x.Name).FirstOrDefault(); }
