In the code below, SomeClass is not public and the System.Array type sc is
public.
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
internal class SomeClass {}
public class ReflectionTest
{
public static void Main()
{
Type myType = typeof(SomeClass);
SomeClass [] sc = new SomeClass [0];
Console.WriteLine( myType.IsPublic); //False
Console.WriteLine (sc.GetType().IsPublic); //True
}
}

type
At run-time, there is no such type as "SomeClass[]". There is only
System.Array -- and that type is, indeed, public.
System.Array is a special type, in that it has what they call "element type"
-- meaning that it's a type composed of (or referring to) some other type
(in this case, SomeClass).
Make sense?

Subject: Visibility of an array type and the element type
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?
Regards,
Dmitry Shaporenkov
