Type.IsNestedFamORAssem 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 nested and visible only to classes that belong to either its own family or to its own assembly.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Public ReadOnly Property IsNestedFamORAssem As Boolean
public bool IsNestedFamORAssem { get; }

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type is nested and visible only to classes that belong to its own family or to its own assembly; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type, this property always returns false.

TypeAttributes..::.VisibilityMask selects the visibility attributes.

A Type object's family is defined as all objects of the exact same Type and of its subtypes.

Examples

The following example declares a nested class with visibility in its own family or in its own assembly and displays IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class.

' Enclose a class.
Class MyClassA
   ' Protected friend nested class.
   Protected Friend Class MyClassB
   End Class 'MyClassB
End Class 'MyClassA
Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Get the type of the nested class.
      Dim myTypeB As Type = GetType(MyClassA.MyClassB)
      ' Get the IsNestedFamORAssem property of the nested class.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Cr + "The IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedFamORAssem.ToString()) & vbCrLf
   End Sub 'Main
End Class 'MyTestClass
using System;
// Enclose a class.
class MyClassA
{
   protected internal class MyClassB
   {
   }
}
class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      // Get the type of the nested class.
      Type myTypeB = typeof(MyClassA.MyClassB);
      // Get the IsNestedFamORAssem property of the nested class.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nThe IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedFamANDAssem.ToString()) + "\n";
   }
}
