Example

The following code example displays the value of the IsNested property for both a protected nested class and a public nested class.


using System;/*www .  j a  v  a  2 s .co  m*/

public class Example
{
    protected class NestedProtected
    {
    }

    public class NestedPublic
    {
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
        Type t = typeof(NestedProtected);
        Console.WriteLine("Is {0} nested? {1}", t.FullName, t.IsNested);
        t = typeof(NestedPublic);
        Console.WriteLine("Is {0} nested? {1}", t.FullName, t.IsNested);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
