Type declarations
A type-declaration is a class-declaration (§10.1), a struct-declaration (§11.1), an interface-declaration (§13.1), an enum-declaration (§14.1), or a delegate-declaration (§15.1). type-declaration: A type-declaration can occur as a top-level declaration in a compilation unit or as a member declaration within a namespace, class, or struct. When a type declaration for a type T occurs as a top-level declaration in a compilation unit, the fully qualified name of the newly declared type is simply T. When a type declaration for a type T occurs within a namespace, class, or struct, the fully qualified name of the newly declared type is N.T, where N is the fully qualified name of the containing namespace, class, or struct. A type declared within a class or struct is called a nested type (§10.3.8). The permitted access modifiers and the default access for a type declaration depend on the context in which the declaration takes place (§3.5.1): · Types declared in compilation units or namespaces can have public or internal access. The default is internal access. · Types declared in classes can have public, protected internal, protected, internal, or private access. The default is private access. · Types declared in structs can have public, internal, or private access. The default is private access.
