Answer 1

You'll want to look at GetGenericTypeDefinition for example:

   List strings=new List();


        Console.WriteLine(strings.GetType().GetGenericTypeDefinition());
        foreach (var t in strings.GetType().GetGenericArguments())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(t);

        }

This will output:

System.Collections.Generic.List`1[T]
System.String
