For one of my projects, I need to generate at run time some classes, and I thought it would be fairly simple to do using Reflection.Emit, but I’m getting MemberAccessExceptions when I run some of the generated code that calls methods that are marked internal in the generator assembly. Is there any way to tell the runtime that the dynamic assembly should be able to access my own code directly? I would really rather not publicly expose any of these members to consumers of my library.

Regarding InternalsVisibleTo, I am unsure how I would go about using it in the case of dynamically generated assemblies. Is this even possible?

  1. InternalsVisibleTo works by opening an assembly to others. So if you want to use assembly Foo from your generated types, you must specify the name of the generated assembly in AssemblyInfo.cs for Foo.

    If you’re emitting a new assembly using the AssemblyBuilder class, you can specify the name for the generated assembly. This name has to match the name used for the InternalsVisibleTo attribute in assembly Foo.
