The IsFamily property of the MemberDescription class indicates whether the member is accessible within its own class and by derived class instances. This property returns a boolean value.
Use the IsFamily property to determine if a member has family-level access, which means it is accessible within its own class and by derived classes. This can be useful when reflecting over a type's members to filter out those that are not accessible to derived classes.
// Example of using the IsFamily property
MemberDescription memberDescription = GetMemberDescription();
if (memberDescription.IsFamily)
{
// The member is accessible within its own class and by derived classes
// Perform operations knowing the member has family-level access
}
else
{
// The member does not have family-level access
}
