FieldInfo.IsAssembly 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 Assembly; that is, the field is visible at most to other types in the same assembly, and is not visible to derived types outside the assembly.
public:
property bool IsAssembly { bool get(); };public bool IsAssembly { get; }member this.IsAssembly : boolPublic ReadOnly Property IsAssembly As BooleanProperty Value
true if the visibility of this field is exactly described by Assembly; 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.

using System.Reflection;

public int f_public;

protected int f_protected;

Console.WriteLine("\n{0,-30}{1,-18}{2}", "", "IsAssembly", "IsFamilyOrAssembly");
Console.WriteLine("{0,-21}{1,-18}{2,-18}{3}\n",
"", "IsPublic", "IsFamily", "IsFamilyAndAssembly");
foreach (FieldInfo f in typeof(Example).GetFields(
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public))

Remarks
The actual visibility of a field is limited by the visibility of its type. The IsAssembly 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.Assembly if the only visibility modifier is internal (Friend in Visual Basic). This property is false for fields that are protected internal in C# (Protected Friend in Visual Basic); use the IsFamilyOrAssembly property to identify such fields.
