Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only to classes that belong to either its own family or to its own assembly.

public:
 property bool IsNestedFamORAssem { bool get(); };

public bool IsNestedFamORAssem { get; }

member this.IsNestedFamORAssem : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsNestedFamORAssem As Boolean

Property Value

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.

Implements

IsNestedFamORAssem

Examples

The following example creates an outer class with a number of nested classes that have various types of visibility. It then retrieves the value of a number of visibility-related Type properties for the parent type and each of its nested types.

using System;

// Create a class with a number of nested classes.
public class OuterClass
{
    private class PrivateClass
    {}

    protected class ProtectedClass
    {}

    internal class InternalClass
    {}

    protected internal class ProtectedInternalClass
    {}

    public class PublicClass
    {}

    public static void Main()
    {
        // Create an array of Type objects for all the classes.
        Type[] types = { typeof(OuterClass),
                         typeof(OuterClass.PublicClass),
                         typeof(OuterClass.PrivateClass),
                         typeof(OuterClass.ProtectedClass),
                         typeof(OuterClass.InternalClass),
                         typeof(OuterClass.ProtectedInternalClass) };
        // Display the property values of each nested class.
        foreach (var type in types) {
           Console.WriteLine("\n{0} property values:", type.Name);
           Console.WriteLine("   Public Class: {0}", type.IsPublic);
           Console.WriteLine("   Not a Public Class: {0}", type.IsNotPublic);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Class: {0}", type.IsNested);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Private Class: {0}", type.IsNestedPrivate);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Internal Class: {0}", type.IsNestedAssembly);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Protected Class: {0}", type.IsNestedFamily);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Family Or Assembly Class: {0}", type.IsNestedFamORAssem);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Family And Assembly Class: {0}", type.IsNestedFamANDAssem);
           Console.WriteLine("   Nested Public Class: {0}", type.IsNestedPublic);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

If the visibility of a type is protected internal in C# or Protected Friend in Visual Basic, the IsNestedFamORAssem property returns true.

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.
