Type.IsSealed Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared sealed.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsSealed As Boolean
public bool IsSealed { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the Type is declared sealed; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic type, this property always returns true.

Examples

The following example creates an instance of a sealed class, checks for the IsSealed property, and displays the result.

Public NotInheritable Class Example

    Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

        Dim t As Type = GetType(Example)
        outputBlock.Text &= _
            String.Format("Is class {0} NotInheritable? {1}." & vbLf, _
            t.Name, t.IsSealed) 

    End Sub 
End Class 

' This example produces the following output:
'
'Is class Example NotInheritable? True.
using System;

public sealed class Example
{
    public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
    {
        Type t = typeof(Example);
        outputBlock.Text += 
            String.Format("Is class {0} sealed? {1}.\n", 
            t.Name, t.IsSealed);
    }
}

/* This example produces the following output:

Is class Example sealed? True.
