this == base ??

[Peter Young]

I'm trying to access the Attributes of a base control, but am seeing something strange.

In this simple example:

namespace WebControlLibrary1
{
public class WebCustomControl1 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
{
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(base.GetType().ToString());
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(this.GetType().ToString());
base.Render(output);
}
}
}

The output of the debug writes is as follows:

WebControlLibrary1.WebCustomControl1
WebControlLibrary1.WebCustomControl1

I expected to see something like this:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
WebControlLibrary1.WebCustomControl1

How do I access the base ImageButton control?

TIA,
Pete

You should use the Type object of the object you are interested in to see the base class; try

this.GetType().BaseType.FullName
