dynamic class name for reflection in c#

Question

I have a class :

Class MyClass
{
...
}

I need to get the type of the class in order to use it in reflection:

string className="MyClass";
var type1=Type.GetType(className, true); //I have a problem loading the class here.

if you see doc: typeName: The assembly-qualified name of the type to get. See AssemblyQualifiedName. If the type is in the currently executing assembly or in Mscorlib.dll, it is sufficient to supply the type name qualified by its namespace. — Grundy

You don't necessarily have to save the type name in a string. See my answer, and please clarify if there are requirements not mentioned in the question. — Eren Ersönmez

You can try to use Type Properties

typeof(T).Name

and if you are dealing with instance then

this.GetType().Name

You don't necessarily need the name, you can directly do:

var type1 = typeof(MyClass);

OP want save typename in string, and in this case your variant not work

@Grundy the OP says "I need to get the type of the class in order to use it in reflection". There may not be a requirement to save the typename in a string.

I'll agree with Eren on this one, it just seems like OP thought it was the only way.

I not thought about it :-) i think that just many types in string and trying work with it :-)
