FieldInfo.IsFamilyOrAssembly Property
Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this field is described by FieldAttributes.FamORAssem; that is, the field can be accessed by derived classes wherever they are, and by classes in the same assembly.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if access to this field is exactly described by FieldAttributes.FamORAssem; otherwise, false.
Implements
_FieldInfo.IsFamilyOrAssemblyIf a field has FamORAssem level visibility, it can be called from any member in a derived class or any member in the same assembly, but not from any other type.
The actual visibility of a field is limited by the visibility of its type. The IsFamilyOrAssembly property might be true for a field, but if it is a field of a private nested type then the field is not visible outside the containing type.
The visibility of a field is exactly described by FieldAttributes.FamORAssem if the visibility modifier is protected internal in C# (Protected Friend in Visual Basic, protected public in C++).
The following code example defines fields with varying levels of visibility, and displays the values of their IsAssembly, IsFamily, IsFamilyOrAssembly, and IsFamilyAndAssembly properties.

The Visual Basic and C# languages cannot define fields with FieldAttributes.FamANDAssem visibility; that access level appears only in the C++ example. |
