GetType Name, substrings and splits-CodePudding

I am trying to return the name of a GradePointState subtype such as (SuspendedState, ProbationState, etc...) of the current instance but I only want text prior to the word "State" to be returned. Instead of "ProbationState###", I want "Probation".

I have this section of code so far:

public abstract class GradePointState
{
    public string Description 
    {
        get
        {
            return GetType().Name;
        }
    }
}

And I am talking about these classes:

public class HonoursState
{
    private static HonoursState honourState;
}

public class ProbationState
{
    private static ProbationState probationState;
}

public class SuspendedState
{
    private static SuspendedState suspendedState;
}

I know I need to use the GetType().Name in this case and I'm assuming I need to use a substring or split along with it.

I'm looking for some advice on how to accomplish this.

CodePudding user response：

Simplest solution is just remove "State" from string.

public abstract class GradePointState
{
    public string Description 
    {
        get
        {
            return GetType().Name.Replace("State","");
        }
    }
}
