C# Public Access Modifier
Use public fields
It is OK for a member of a class to access a private member of the same class.
using System; //w ww. j av a 2 s. co m
class MyClass {
private int a; // private access explicitly specified
int b; // private access by default
public int gamma; // public access
public void setAlpha(int val) {
a = val;
}
public int getAlpha() {
return a;
}
public void setBeta(int a) {
b = a;
}
public int getBeta() {
return b;
}
}
class AccessDemo {
public static void Main() {
MyClass ob = new MyClass();
/* Access to a and b is allowed only through methods. */
ob.setAlpha(-99);
ob.setBeta(19);
Console.WriteLine("ob.a is " + ob.getAlpha());
Console.WriteLine("ob.b is " + ob.getBeta());
// You cannot access a or b like this:
// ob.a = 10; // Wrong! a is private!
// ob.b = 9; // Wrong! b is private!
// It is OK to directly access gamma because it is public.
ob.gamma = 99;
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
