[ADVANCED-DOTNET] Visibility of an array type and the element type

[Dmitry Shaporenkov]

Hi all,

the output of the following program is a mystery for me:


using System;

internal class SomeClass {}

public class ReflectionTest
{
   public static void Main ()
   {
      SomeClass [] sc = new SomeClass [0];
      Console.WriteLine (sc.GetType().IsPublic); // True ???
      Console.WriteLine (sc.GetType().GetElementType ().IsPublic); //
False - OK
   }
}


It seems that via Reflection I get that the array type SomeClass[] has
public visibility. I would expect it to have
the same visibility as its element type. Any ideas how this can happen?
