.NET Framework Class Library
Type..::.IsNestedAssembly Property

Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only within its own assembly.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public ReadOnly Property IsNestedAssembly As Boolean
public bool IsNestedAssembly { get; }
public:
virtual property bool IsNestedAssembly {
	bool get () sealed;
}
abstract IsNestedAssembly : bool
override IsNestedAssembly : bool

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type is nested and visible only within its own assembly; otherwise, false.

Implements

_Type..::.IsNestedAssembly
Remarks

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

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

Examples

The following example declares a nested class with visibility in its own assembly, and displays its IsNestedAssembly property value.


Imports System
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
' Nest a class.
Class MyClassA
    Friend Class MyClassB
    End Class 'MyClassB
End Class 'MyClassA
Class MyTestClass
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        ' Get the type of the nested class.
        Dim myTypeB As Type = GetType(MyClassA.MyClassB)
        ' Get the IsNestedAssembly property  of the nested class.
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The IsNestedAssembly property value of MyClassB is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedAssembly.ToString())
    End Sub 'Main
End Class 'MyTestClass


using System;
// Nest a class.
class MyClassA
{
    internal class MyClassB
    {
    }
}
class MyTestClass
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {  
        // Get the type of the nested class.
        Type myTypeB = typeof(MyClassA.MyClassB);
        // Get the IsNestedAssembly property  of the nested class.
        Console.WriteLine("\nThe IsNestedAssembly property value of MyClassB is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedAssembly.ToString());
    }
}


using namespace System;

// Nest a class.
ref class MyClassA
{
internal:
   ref class MyClassB{};
};

int main()
{
   // Get the type of the nested class.
   Type^ myTypeB = MyClassA::MyClassB::typeid;

   // Get the IsNestedAssembly property  of the nested class.
   Console::WriteLine( "\nThe IsNestedAssembly property value of MyClassB is {0}.", myTypeB->IsNestedAssembly );
}
