c# - Can you change the value of the Name property of a Type at runtime? -

is possible change/override name property of type?

given class definition:

class sample {} 

can change value typeof(sample).name returns?

i'm using custom serialization library, literally use typeof(t).name in source code:

writer.writestartelement(typeof(t).name); writer.writevalue(item); writer.writeendelement(); 

no, cannot change .name of type @ runtime. however, serialization libraries allow have control of processing of names, either providing custom "binder" (etc), or annotating type attributes indicate preferred name use (note: libraries allow attributes also allow name provided via runtime configuration of serialization library).

an important question, then, is: serialization library being used here?

if serialization library doesn't support this, , cannot changed, alternative (short of renaming sample) of create type (either hand, or via typebuilder @ runtime) looks original type, different code, , similarly: create code translates between 2 types.
