In my ideal world, what I’m looking for would exist as something along the lines of this:

public string UserDefinedField {     get { return _userDefinedField; }     internal set { _userDefinedField = value; }             set { _userDefinedField = value; ChangedFields.Add(Fields.UserDefinedField); } }

Where one statement is executed regardless of the access modifier, and another statement is executed if it’s called from an external assembly or class.

I’m sure I could code something by using reflection and checking up the current call stack to see if the caller is in the same assembly, but I’m looking to see if there’s a more elegant approach than that.

  1. public string UserDefinedField {     get { return _userDefinedField; }     set { SetField(value); ChangedFields.Add(Fields.UserDefinedField); } }  // Call this from internal methods and use the public property for other cases internal string SetField(string userValue) {     _userDefinedField = userValue; }

    You could get the caller information by examining the calling stack but that is extremely slow (compared to the above) and I wouldn’t recommend it.
