_Type Remarks
If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type, this property always returns false.
TypeAttributes
A Type object's family is defined as all objects of the exact same Type and of its subtypes.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the IsNestedFamily property to determine whether a type is both nested and protected.
' Enclose a class.
Class MyClassA
' Protected nested class.
Protected Class MyClassB
End Class 'MyClassB
End Class 'MyClassA
Class MyTestClass
Inherits MyClassA
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Get the Type of the nested class.
Dim myTypeB As Type = GetType(MyClassA.MyClassB)
' Get the 'IsNestedFamily' property the of the nested class
' 'Type'.
Console.WriteLine((ControlChars.Cr + "The nested class has the property 'IsNestedFamily' value: " + myTypeB.IsNestedFamily.ToString()))
End Sub 'Main
End Class 'MyTestClass
// Enclose a class.
class MyClassA
{
// Protected nested class.
protected class MyClassB
{
}
}
class MyTestClass : MyClassA
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get the Type of the nested class.
Type myTypeB = typeof(MyClassA.MyClassB);
// Get the 'IsNestedFamily' property the of the nested class
// 'Type'.
Console.WriteLine("\nThe nested class has the property 'IsNestedFamily' value: "+
myTypeB.IsNestedFamily.ToString());
}
}
// Enclose a class.
ref class MyClassA
{
protected:
// Protected nested class.
ref class MyClassB{};
};
ref class MyTestClass: public MyClassA
{
public:
static void Test()
{
// Get the Type of the nested class.
Type^ myTypeB = MyClassA::MyClassB::typeid;
// Get the 'IsNestedFamily' property the of the nested class
// 'Type'.
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe nested class has the property 'IsNestedFamily' value: {0}", myTypeB->IsNestedFamily );
}
};
int main()
{
MyTestClass::Test();
}
