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

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; }
public:
virtual property bool IsNestedFamORAssem {
	bool get () sealed;
}
abstract IsNestedFamORAssem : bool
override IsNestedFamORAssem : bool

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.

Implements

_Type..::.IsNestedFamORAssem
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.


Imports System
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
' Enclose a class.
Class MyClassA
    ' Protected friend nested class.
    Protected 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 IsNestedFamORAssem property of the nested class.
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedFamORAssem.ToString())
    End Sub 'Main
End Class 'MyTestClass


using System;
// Enclose a class.
class MyClassA
{
    protected 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 IsNestedFamORAssem property of the nested class.
        Console.WriteLine("\nThe IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedFamANDAssem.ToString()); 
    }
}


using namespace System;

// Enclose a class.
ref class MyClassA
{
public protected:
   ref class MyClassB{};
};

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

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