var t = obj.GetType();

while (t != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(t.Name);
    t = t.BaseType;
}

Type currentType = obj.GetType();
while (currentType != null)
{
  Console.WriteLine(currentType.ToString());
  currentType = currentType.BaseType;
}

If you're only interested in the class hierarchy:

Type type = obj.GetType();
while (type != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(type.Name);
    type = type.BaseType;
}
