如何限制引用库中的公共访问修饰符？

Question

I have two different libraries which refereed the base library called base.dll. One library using for web platforms another one using for windows platform (WPF). I have to restrict restrict one public property in WPF platform but I want to access it in web platform. How can achieve this? I am trying condition compilation but I don't know how to do exactly. Please help me

For Ex:- Base library:

public Class CommonClass{
    public string CssClass
               {
            get;
            set;
                }
}

Referenced Library 1 (Web) – Referenced the base library, need to access CssClass in this library

Referenced Library 2: (WPF) - Referenced the base library, need to restrict CssClass in this library

Answer 1

This actually sounds like a design flaw. You create a library and define which properties should be accessible by users of that library. Normally you don't hide specific properties from specific clients.

However, I think you can achieve what you want by making the property internal and use the InternalsVisibleToAttribute in your base.dll :

[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("webplatformassembly")]

public Class CommonClass{
    internal string CssClass
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

This way no client can see that property, except those mentioned in a InternalsVisibleTo attribute.
