Xamarin.iOS:

var storyBoard = this.Storyboard;
var storyBoardName = storyBoard.ValueForKey(new NSString ("name"));

@RodrigoChavarria `NSString` is in the `Foundation` namespace, add a `using Foundation;` – SushiHangover Nov 14 '16 at 21:21

You can also try this in the storyboard's custom ViewController:

NSString storyboardId = (NSString) ValueForKey(new NSString("storyboardIdentifier"));

To get just the string, you can simply use storyboardId.ToString() (NSString function), though NSString mostly behaves the same way as string, e.g. in Dictionaries.

converted to C# from Swift from this answer: Programmatically get a Storyboard ID?
