What is a "Friendless Class" in C#? I heard someone refer to it but I googled it online and found nothing.

A friend is a C++ concept. You don't find this concept in C# or anywhere in OOP.

C++ is not an object-oriented language. It is a structured language like C. There are techniques allowing a non-class member to access private class members and bypass all that OOP stuff and write a good old structured program.

You simply can't do this in C#.

While it's true friend isn't available in C# (probably for the best as well) you can get close with the internal modifier and the InternalsVisibleTo Attribute.

Just an FYI :)

Is this the correct way to think of "base class"? The "base class" is a class from which other classes are derived. The "base class" will never be derived from another class.
