Is it possible to write an attribute that changes the visibility of a class
(public/private) etc based on some pre-compiler define symbol?
We're writing some classes which will be called by an external (bespoke)
test harness, so we want then to be public in the assembly when we're
testing, and private in the class the rest of the time.
For example
[DefinePublic(TE ST_SYMBOL_DEFIN ED)]
class ClassToBePublic InTestModeOnly
{
};
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I do not know if you can do this property based. I somehow doubt it because
once the assembly is generated, I would expect visibility to be fixed.
If not, then anyone who knew your attributes could change visibility at will.
What you could do would be the following, though it fixes the visibility at
compile time.
#ifdef UNITTEST
#define VISIBILITY public
#else
#define VISIBILITY private
#endif
VISIBILITY:
ref class test
{
test()
{
}
};

The behaviour you describe with the #ifdef is what I am trying to achieve
with the attribute. I expect the visibility to be set at compile time and not
changeable in the metadata.
I was just looking for a more visually pleasing way of achieving what the
ugly #ifdef code does.
Thanks anyway.
Colin.

in .NET 1.0 and 1.1, there is nothing to achieve this.
in .NET 2.0, you should mark your class as private and apply the
InternalsVisibl eToAttribute at the assembly level to allow your testing code
assess to that member

Thank you Marcus,
That is exactly what I was after.

There is something with initializing mutable class attributes that I am
struggling with. I'll use an example to explain:
class Father:
attr1=None # this is OK
attr2= # this is wrong
def foo(self, data):
self.attr1=data
self.attr2.append(data)
The initialization of attr1 is obviously OK, all instances of Father
redefine it in the method foo. But the initialization of attr2 is wrong

Hi,
Am trying to write custom validation attributes for public fields,
properties, methods etc. using context-bound programming.
It works fine for properties, methods, parameters etc.
But, when intercepting a Set of a public field, there appears to be an
underlying method set up; a FieldSetter, which take parameters type,
fieldname and fieldvalue.

Hi all
I noticed something strange here while explaining decorators to someone.
Not any real use code, but I think it's worth mentioning.
When I access a class attribute, on a class with a custom metaclass with
a __getattribute__ method, the method is used when acessing some
attribute directly with the class object, but not when you do it from
the instance.

Hello all,
I am creating a website in VS 2008 VB.net. On one of my pages I am

The problem I found after I wrote all the code to create the table was
that there is not Cell Click event. So I did some looking and asked
around and got this C# (see below) version of a class that someone
built to create a clickable cell.
