Type.IsPublic Property
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared public.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the Type is declared public and is not a nested type; otherwise, false.
Implements
_Type.IsPublicDo not use with nested types; use IsNestedPublic instead.
If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type, this property returns true.
TypeAttributes.VisibilityMask selects the visibility attributes.
The following example creates an instance of MyTestClass, checks for the IsPublic property, and displays the result.
using System; namespace SystemType { // Declare MyTestClass as public. public class MyTestClass { } public class MyClass { public static void Main(string []args) { try { bool myBool = false; MyTestClass myTestClassInstance = new MyTestClass(); // Get the type of myTestClassInstance. Type myType = myTestClassInstance.GetType(); // Get the IsPublic property of the myTestClassInstance. myBool = myType.IsPublic; Console.WriteLine("\nIs {0} public? {1}.", myType.FullName, myBool.ToString ()); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("\nAn exception occurred: {0}", e.Message); } } } }
For nested classes, ignore the results of IsPublic and IsNotPublic and pay attention only to the results of IsNestedPublic and IsNestedPrivate.
