Type.IsNested Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets a value indicating whether the current Type object represents a type whose definition is nested inside the definition of another type.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The IsNested property returns true for all nested types, regardless of visibility. To test for nesting and visibility at the same time, use the related properties IsNestedAssembly, IsNestedFamily, IsNestedFamANDAssem, IsNestedFamORAssem, IsNestedPrivate, or IsNestedPublic.

The VisibilityMask enumeration member selects the visibility attributes for a type. |
The following code example displays the value of the IsNested property for both a protected nested class and a public nested class.
Public Class Example Protected Class NestedProtected End Class Public Class NestedPublic End Class Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) With GetType(NestedProtected) outputBlock.Text &= "Is " & .FullName & " nested? " & .IsNested & vbCrLf End With With GetType(NestedPublic) outputBlock.Text &= "Is " & .FullName & " nested? " & .IsNested & vbCrLf End With End Sub End Class ' This example produces the following output: ' 'Is Example+NestedProtected nested? True 'Is Example+NestedPublic nested? True
