Can we access private variables using reflection ?

[Sreenath Madyastha]

I am sorry to ask this question here :) I need simple answer yes or no

Private variables do not exist. They're just an on-going joke started by some OO wackos.

I suspect your question will be reflected to the proper forum. :)

Well, while I move this to the .NET forum, you could write some code and see for yourself...

But when we watch those variables in VS.NET, we do see those variables. For example check m_roles in GenericPrincipal object.

My reply to you is stored in a private variable. Maybe you can use reflection to discover (or maybe not :rolleyes:).

This is a joke reply, about all you will get to a programming question asked in the lounge.
