Access modifier Public in exe assemblies

N Khan via .NET 247

Hi,

I know the usage of access modifier ?public? in DLL assembliesbut I am a bit puzzled that if let say I have a public class inan exe assembly then what purpose access modifier ?public? willserver. Related to the same thing is it possible that we canexpose exe assembly like DLL assembly.

Cheers

You can actually reference a .exe file in the same way you can a .dll
file as far as the CLR is concerned - and the C# compiler (for example)
is fine to do that. VS.NET doesn't support it though.

Hi Thanks Jon can you answer first part of my question i.e. what will be the
behaviour of access modifier 'public' in an exe assembly especially when you
say that we can reference it.

cheers

It's exactly the same as it is in a DLL - other assemblies are able to
"see" public members.
