System.Reflection.MethodBase.IsFamilyOrAssembly Property

Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by MethodAttributes.FamORAssem; that is, the method or constructor can be called by derived classes wherever they are, and by classes in the same assembly.

Syntax

public bool IsFamilyOrAssembly { get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

If a type member has MethodAttributes.FamORAssem 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 method is limited by the visibility of its type. The MethodBase.IsFamilyOrAssembly property might be true for a method, but if it is a method of a private nested type then the method is not visible outside the containing type.

The visibility of a method or constructor is exactly described by MethodAttributes.FamORAssem if the visibility modifier is protected internal in C# (Protected Friend in Visual Basic, protected public in C++).
