    I have a c# assembly, that will be passed to another developer to use as a dll. The other developer does not need to know the workings of the dll, so most of the classes are marked as internal. I have a few public classes that are exposed externally. Now, i want to add some tests to the assembly (I know they should have been done first!!), but if i add another project to the solution, the test project cannot see the internal classes, so i cant write the tests. How do i get round this without making the classes public, which i dont want to do? tia Mark ps, hope this is in the right forum, was not sure if it was here or vs :rolleyes:

    In .NET 2, you can mark assemblies as [assembly:InternalsVisibleTo("assemblyname...")], so you could use this to tell the assemblies to show internal assemblies to test application.

      :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D Thanks I assume that if a developer that was using this dll, called there project "Tests" for example, they would see everthing as well. Not really a problem as I dont think they would call it Tests. Maybe I should call my test project something obscure

        You can use the public key of your unit test assembly in there as well, so it becomes

        [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("mytestproject, PublicKey="32de3ba45e0a00a1")]

              Cheers. It's been a busy couple of months blogging for me. It's helped working alongside Karl Shifflett - he's a coding/article writing machine, and has spurred me on.

                  Use sn -Tp on the test dll. This depends on you having strong named the test project of course.

                            Being polite costs nothing. As a member of a number of (coding/car/RC Helicopter) forums I see no end of rudeness. When others try and help (even if they cant solve your problem), they have taken their time to try, why not be polite and say thanks just my 2p worth :) Mark
