using reflection in codebehind

[PJ6]

This kind of threw me, using Me.GetType in a page's codebehind returns a
page type and not the type of the actual vb class. Is there a way to
retreive the vb class type during execution?

Also, is there a way, from the vb-declared type, to retrieve the
ASP-declared type?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

Check out a Context Page Name component I have freely available on my
website.

It does what you want. The full source code is downloadable for free. Just
go to http://www.aboutfortunate.com, click the "Code Library" link at the
top of the page and then click the "Context Page Name" button on the left.

Me.GetType will return the concrete type at runtime. Your class is the base
class of the page object. Use this instead:

Dim t As Type = GetType(YourCodeBehindClassName)

D'oh, I should have guessed.

Thanks!
