Accessibility

Global classes and class members each have an accessibility that specifies which other classes can legally access them. They are:

Message Form Data Form CIL Equivalent Available To
public #Public Public All classes
qualified #Qualified FamOrAssem Any subclass, and any class in the same assembly
restricted #Restricted Family Subclasses
secret #Secret Assembly Classes in the same assembly
supersecret #SuperSecret FamANDAssem Subclasses in the same assembly
topsecret #TopSecret Private The declaring class only

It's easy to remember these. Accessibilities with "Secret" in the name confine member access within the assembly, while the others are accessible to referencing assemblies, at various levels.

For global classes, the only two allowed values are #Public and #Secret.
