Type.IsPublic Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared public.
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.
Public Class TestClass End Class Public Class Example Public Shared Sub Main() Dim testClassInstance As New TestClass() ' Get the type of testClassInstance. Dim testType As Type = testClassInstance.GetType() ' Get the IsPublic property of testClassInstance. Dim isPublic As Boolean = testType.IsPublic Console.WriteLine("Is {0} public? {1}", testType.FullName, isPublic) End Sub End Class ' The example displays the following output: ' Is TestClass public? True
For nested classes, ignore the results of IsPublic and IsNotPublic and pay attention only to the results of IsNestedPublic and IsNestedPrivate.
