![]() ![]() ![]() | IsAbstract | Gets a value indicating whether the method is abstract. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IsAssembly | Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by MethodAttributes::Assembly; that is, the method or constructor is visible at most to other types in the same assembly, and is not visible to derived types outside the assembly. |
