Type.IsPublic Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared public.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property IsPublic As Boolean
public bool IsPublic { get; }
Property Value
Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type is declared public and is not a nested type; otherwise, false.
Remarks
Do not use with nested types; use IsNestedPublic instead.
If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type, this property returns true.
TypeAttributes..::.VisibilityMask selects the visibility attributes.
Examples
The following example creates an instance of MyTestClass, checks for the IsPublic property, and displays the result.
For nested classes, ignore the results of the IsPublic and IsNotPublic properties and use IsNestedPublic, IsNestedPrivate, IsNestedFamORAssem, and so on.
Note
To run this example, see Building examples that have static TextBlock controls for Windows Phone 8.
' Declare MyTestClass as public.
