default access modifier

[Tony]

Hello!

I want to check with you if the following default accessmodifier is correct.

* Class outer level = Internal
* Class that are nested = private
* field = private
* method = private
* delegate = internal

Is this correct?

Is it any more that I have forgotten?

Non-class types (enums, interfaces, structs)
Properties
Events
Indexers

Basically, however, it's a simple rule: the default access is the most
private you can declare. The one exception for this is that if you set
one part of a property (i.e. either the getter or the setter) to be a
particular access level, that is always more private than it would be
otherwise.

Hi Tony,

Additionally to what Jon said just a table from MS (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ba0a1yw2(VS.71).aspx).
Seens a table makes more simple to catch, sometimes

but how about classes. The most private I can declare is private but the
default access is really Internal.
So have I missunderstood you in some way perhaps?

So according to your statement everything seems to have default access of
private?

What would be able to use a private outer level class ?

Try declaring a non-nested class as private

Nope - it's as private as you're allowed to declare it.
