Restrict access to a Class

[Fernand0]

Hey!

I'm like, trying to don't put all the code together... make it more readable and easy to maintain, etc.

The thing is, when i type "NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns." ALL the clases get listed.

One way to stop this is...

public class A {

public class Hide {
....
}

}

so... any ideas to put "Hide" out of A, and restrict the access?


My regards.

Don't make it public?

[Fernand0]

nope..

public class A {

}

class Hide {
....
}

It's the same.. it can be accessed

[bltdavid]

Hmm, what are you really wanting to achieve?

[Fernand0]

I can do..

namespace ...
{

    public partial class DOM ...
    {

    }

}

namespace ...
{

    partial class DOM
    {
        
        class Row
        {
            
        }

    }
}

But i don't want to put "class DOM" twice... i just want to restrict the access on its own...

Hello Fernand0,

Making a object such as a class private causes that class to only be accessible from within the parent container. If this is a private class within another class, only the parent class will have access to that child class.

Below is a public link to a 3rd party educational site on the 'private' access modifier.

As well as a public link to a 3rd party educational site on access modifiers in general.

Yes, but i don't want to put the class inside the parent class.

This is not ideal:

namespace ...
{

    public partial class DOM ...
    {

    }

}

namespace ...
{

    partial class DOM
    {
        
        class Row
        {
            
        }

    }

}

This is..

namespace ...
{

    public class DOM ...
    {

    }

}

namespace ...
{

    class Row
    {
        
    }
    
}

internal doesn't work, there is no access keyword(to my knowledge) where Row just works in AddOns

Hello Fernand0,

I am not aware of a way to prevent a class from showing in the objects of a namespace, if the classes are in the same namespace and use the same access modifier.
