friendin VB.Net is the same asinternalin C#, it means that it can be accessed anywhere in the same assembly, but not from other assemblies.I think it’s a sensible default since I would say that normally one assembly should not be using another assembly’s GUI controls (unless it’s a class library or similar that is built for the purpose).
