Re: by default, public or private?

Actually, no I'm right. You're only pointing out a semantical issue.

Since we're in the VB newsgroup, the posts about other languages don't
apply.

Hi all,

"If the Dim statement is used (in Visual Basic .NET) or no access modifier
is used (in Visual C#), the variable is considered private in Visual C#
and
Visual Basic .NET classes, Public in Visual Basic .NET structures, and
private in Visual C# structures. Methods do not require an access
modifier.
If no access modifier is specified, the method is Private by default if in
a
class or structure in C#, and Public if in a class or structure in Visual
Basic .NET."

Hi Joe,

I think you are not entirely right. There is no such thing as "public
within
the module". The definition of a private variable is one that is not
visible
*outside* of the type to which it belongs (Class or struct). "Private" is
the most you can limit the access level, and even all Private variables
can
be freely accessed within the class they are declared.

I believe it depends more on where the variable is declared.
Yes, you are right about that. As above, variables in VB.NET structures
are
by default Public.

I'm trying to find on MSDN, or someplace, that speaks to variables being
public or private by default. Anyone know where? Thanks.
