You can use System.Type object to access the type's name, assembly, base type, visibility, and so on.
For example:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class MainClass
{
static void Main()
{
Type stringType = typeof(String);
string name = stringType.Name; // String
Type baseType = stringType.BaseType; // typeof(Object)
Assembly assem = stringType.Assembly; // mscorlib.dll
bool isPublic = stringType.IsPublic; // true
}
}
