Is it possible to restrict the scope of a field/method of a class to the classes in the same namespace?

hi,
yes, it is possible to restrict by using "private-access specifier"

eg:

namespace Test
{
public partial class ClassTest
{
public void callme()
{
}

private void callme1()
{
}
}
}

in another class in the same namespace
using Test
namespace Test
{
public partial class ClassTest1
{
public void Tocall()
{
ClassTest obj=new ClassTest();
//here you can access the public function callme() using this object,
// but you can't call callme1()
}
}
}

Hi Mani and Sathish,
There is no way to restrict to a namespace. Namespaces are never units of protection. But if you’re using assemblies, you can use the ‘internal’ access modifier to restrict access to only within the assembly.

Hi,
Yes.internal access modifier can restrict the access within the assembly.Thanks for your help.
