FieldInfo.IsFamilyOrAssembly Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this field is described by FamORAssem; that is, the field can be accessed by derived classes wherever they are, and by classes in the same assembly.
public:
property bool IsFamilyOrAssembly { bool get(); };public bool IsFamilyOrAssembly { get; }member this.IsFamilyOrAssembly : boolPublic ReadOnly Property IsFamilyOrAssembly As BooleanProperty Value
true if access to this field is exactly described by FamORAssem; otherwise, false.

Examples
The following code example defines fields with varying levels of visibility, and displays the values of their IsAssembly, IsFamily, IsFamilyOrAssembly, and IsFamilyAndAssembly properties.

Remarks
If a field has FamORAssem level visibility, it can be called from any member in a derived class or any member in the same assembly, but not from any other type.
The actual visibility of a field is limited by the visibility of its type. The IsFamilyOrAssembly property might be true for a field, but if it is a field of a private nested type then the field is not visible outside the containing type.
The visibility of a field is exactly described by FieldAttributes.FamORAssem if the visibility modifier is protected internal in C# (Protected Friend in Visual Basic, protected public in C++).
