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

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsNestedFamORAssem As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the Type is nested and visible only to classes that belong to its own family or to its own assembly; 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 example declares a nested class with visibility in its own family or in its own assembly and displays IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class.


' Enclose a class.
Class MyClassA
   ' Protected friend nested class.
   Protected Friend Class MyClassB
   End Class 'MyClassB
End Class 'MyClassA
Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Get the type of the nested class.
      Dim myTypeB As Type = GetType(MyClassA.MyClassB)
      ' Get the IsNestedFamORAssem property of the nested class.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.Cr + "The IsNestedFamORAssem property value of the nested class is {0}.", myTypeB.IsNestedFamORAssem.ToString()) & vbCrLf
   End Sub 'Main
End Class 'MyTestClass
