Yes, a Friend method can only be accessed in the same assembly whereas a
Public method can also be accessed from other projects/assemblies.

Rahul,

Not really, either way the method will only be accessible to types in
the same assembly.

Aahh sorry, Mattias is right. I didn't read carefully enough. Ignore my
