Restrict access to an assembly

Hi all,

Anyone can tell me if it's possible to restrict the access of a classes
library (dll .NET) ?

For sample restrict the possibility to explore all classes and there
features into the object explorer from VS.Net or
restrict the use of that library from another program, because this library
will be distribued with an application, and
i don't want to share the library functions ... otherwise, anyone can
reference that library in his project and use all features ...

Any Idee or any link where i can find some infos about that ?

Thanks you

Olivier,

No. You can obfuscate the assembly to make it a bit harder to
understand what the types and members do, but you can't prevent
someone from looking at it.

or restrict the use of that library from another program


Yes, you can do this with code access security and link demands.
