May be you can use MemberInfo/FieldInfo and join the Name(which will give
you the filed name) and DeclaringType.Name/FullName to get the
representation the way you expected. For eg,
FieldInfo memInfo = obj.GetType().GetField("MyString1");
string exp = memInfo.DeclaringType.Name + "." + memInfo.Name;
will give you something like this : ClassName.FieldName.
I dont think there is a streight way exist which will give the output the
way you expect.
