I have a situation where I need to prevent just anyone from instantiating a
particular class. The class is instantiated via certain methods from other
classes in the solution, but those are the only classes/methods allowed to
do this.
How can I prevent all other classes from creating a new instance of my
'restricted' class? Or, to put it another way, how can the restricted class
'know' who is trying to instantiate it?
Thanks,

Daniel,
Could you declare your Class as Protected?

Another option might be to make the constructor private and provide a shared
method called Create() that returns the constructed object or something like
that?

I tried that. Problem is that instantiation of the class is not related to
inheritance.
I want to be able to do:
Dim mrc As MyRestrictedCla ss =
someObject.Meth odWhichReturnsR estrictedAnInst anceOfMyRestric tedClass()
but I don't want outside code to be able to do:
Dim mrc As MyRestrictedCla ss = New MyRestrictClass ()
I'm going to give Richard Tappenden's idea a try.
But thanks for responding anyway :-)

Ahhh, kinda like what you have to do for a Singleton. However, what's to
prevent outside code from using the Create() method?

If the only ones that should be able to create an instance of the class
are in the same assembly, why not mark the class as Friend? This would
make that no one outside the assembly can use it. If you need the class
itself to be available outside the assembly, but only created within the
assembly then you could mark the class Public, but the Sub New as
Friend.

hello everyone,
i want to know of any trick used to restrict the access scope of a
friend class (or function). ie instead of the friend class having
access to the entire internals of the class in question, let it have
access to a few private/protected members.
this problem is cropping up several times. giving the friend class
full access does not seem right n at the same time the function(s) r
not reqd by anyone else.

Hello,
What's the best way to keep email templates as html files on the server, so
ASP.NET application can get file access to it, while restricting web users
from accessing it through their browsers.
The site is open to the public, no authentication is required, and web
application runs under default iis user account.
Thanks!
