Type.IsNestedFamily Property

Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only within its own family.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
virtual property bool IsNestedFamily {
	bool get () sealed;
}
/** @property */
public final boolean get_IsNestedFamily ()

public final function get IsNestedFamily () : boolean

Not applicable.

Property Value

true if the Type is nested and visible only within its own family; otherwise, false.

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.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the IsNestedFamily property to determine whether a type is both nested and protected.

// 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();
}

// Enclose a class.
class MyClassA
{
    // Protected nested class.
    protected class MyClassB
    {
    } //MyClassB
} //MyClassA

class MyTestClass extends MyClassA
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Get the Type of the nested class.
        Type myTypeB = MyClassA.MyClassB.class.ToType();

        // Get the 'IsNestedFamily' property the of the nested class 'Type'.
        Console.WriteLine("\nThe nested class has the property "
            +"'IsNestedFamily' value: " 
            + System.Convert.ToString(myTypeB.get_IsNestedFamily()));
    } //main
} //MyTestClass
