Dear all,

I have a little confusion regarding the use of access modifier visibility level. the situation is like below:

I have a timer control (tmr1, as private mode) in Enable=False mode, in a form (form1). Now I want to enable that tmr1 depending upon a button1_Click event of another form say form2. So is it safe to make that tmr1's access specifier internal and make it enable from the form2??? :confused:

Solution 2

Rather than do that it would be better to keep the timer member private and to add an internal method:

C#

internal void EnableTimer(){...}

Yes. You may safely make it internal.
