Passing variables in module

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I understand that all member variables in a module declared as Public, are exposed as 'Shared Members' in the assembly.
Since we know that public variables should be accessed by any project that is referencing them, how come they are shared and able to be accessed only within the project that they are declared?

Best Regards

Solution 1

use internal modifier to your variable so that it can only be accessible to within assembly.

Take a look at MSDN Article

Solution 2

ok, but the question is why does member variables declared with the Public access modifier does NOT provide true public access through being able to access it from an other project instead they behave as Friend.
Or am I wrong?
