Gets a value indicating whether the Type can be accessed by code outside the assembly.

The following code example tests two classes, only one of which is visible outside the assembly.
using namespace System; private ref class InternalOnly { public: ref class Nested {}; }; public ref class Example { public: ref class Nested {}; }; // Entry point of example int main() { Type^ classType = InternalOnly::Nested::typeid; Console::WriteLine( "Is the {0} class visible outside the assembly? {1}", classType->FullName, classType->IsVisible); classType = Example::Nested::typeid; Console::WriteLine( "Is the {0} class visible outside the assembly? {1}", classType->FullName, classType->IsVisible); } /* This example produces the following output: Is the InternalOnly+Nested class visible outside the assembly? False Is the Example+Nested class visible outside the assembly? True */
