Hide namespace in 3rd dependent project-CodePudding

I Have 3 projects in same solution, each dependent from the one before (DB <- Provider <- WinUI). In DB I defined a Behaviour class that will be used in Providers with a mapper Behavioud class, this last used by WinUI project. (WinUI doesn't depend directly from DB).

Is there a way to hide the clases from DB inside WinUI? this project only should use the provider clases.

CodePudding user response：

First, mark the Behaviour class in the DB project as internal.

Second, add

for a project that contains an AssemblyInfo.cs file
```
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("Providers")]
```

for .Net 5 , in the csproj file (more info)

<ItemGroup>
  <InternalsVisibleTo Include="Providers" />
</ItemGroup>

internal prevents the class from being visible in other assemblies. The assembly attribute allows sharing internal classes with the assemblies you name.
