C# - Get the implemented type from a Generic Base Class

Question

I may of worded the title completely wrong, but basically, I have the following base class:

public class ScheduleableService<T> : ServiceBase
        where T : IJob
{
        var x = typeof(T);
}

The implementation of this is something like:

public class MyScheduledService: ScheduleableService<MyScheduledJob>
{
    //MyScheduledJob implements IJob
}

Basically, what I need, is in my base class ScheduleableService, to be able to get hold of the MyScheduledService type- Is there any way I can do this without passing it in.

The following works, however is ugly.....

public class ScheduleableService<T, S> : ServiceBase
    where T : IJob
    where S : ServiceBase
{

    var x = typeof(T);
    var y = typeof(S);
}

implementation:

public class MyScheduledService: ScheduleableService<MyScheduledJob,
                                                     MyScheduledService>
{
    //MyScheduledJob implements IJob
}

Answer 1

this.GetType() or I am missing something?

Answer 2

MyScheduledService svc = this as MyScheduledService;
if (svc != null)
{
    // it is a MyScheduledService, and you can work with svc
}

But why would you need to do this? It possibly points to a deficiency in your design. The base class should never need to know anything about derived types.
