RSCG – ThisClass

Generate full class name from class

This is how you can use ThisClass .

The code that you start with is

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

	<PropertyGroup>
		<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
		<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
		<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
		<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
	</PropertyGroup>

	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="ThisClass" Version="1.5.11" />
	</ItemGroup>
	<PropertyGroup>
		<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
		<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
	</PropertyGroup>

</Project>

The code that you will use is

using DemoClass;

Person person = new Person();
person.Name = "Andrei Ignat";
Console.WriteLine(person.Name);
Console.WriteLine(Person.ThisClass.FullName);

namespace DemoClass;
[ThisClass]
internal partial class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string ClassName => ThisClass.FullName;
}
