Is there a way to have a .NET assembly accessible for only authorized sources?
I mean I want to have a DLL that contains components, but I don’t want anyone to be able to use these components but the other DLLs EXEs in my solution.
I do want them to be in separated DLLs though.
Restriction on namespace might also be a good idea if this feature exists out there.
Is there a way?
You can create internal classes. And the give your specified assemblies to access these classes by using InternalsVisibleTo attribute.
The assembly should be strong named. You can find more information about the attribute in this article.
