Getting the fully qualified name of a type from a TypeInfo object

Question

Is it somehow possible to get the fully qualified name of the type contained in a TypeInfo object?

Answer 1

The ToDisplayString method lets you pass in a "format" object which has a huge number of options for controlling how you want to format stuff:

var symbolDisplayFormat = new SymbolDisplayFormat(
    typeQualificationStyle: SymbolDisplayTypeQualificationStyle.NameAndContainingTypesAndNamespaces);

string fullyQualifiedName = typeSymbol.ToDisplayString(symbolDisplayFormat);

The reason your getting keywords like "int" is the default format is including the SymbolDisplayMiscellaneousOptions.UseSpecialTypes flag which specifies to use the language keywords for special types vs. the regular name.
