Type.IsNestedFamily 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 Type is nested and visible only within its own family.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue 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.
