Why cant partial methods be public if the implementation is in the same assembly?
- by Simon
According to this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wa80x488.aspx
"Partial methods are implicitly private"
So you can have this
// Definition in file1.cs
partial void Method1();
// Implementation in file2.cs
partial void Method1()
{
// method body
}
But you cant have this
// Definition in file1.cs
public partial void Method1();
// Implementation in file2.cs
public partial void Method1()
{
// method body
}
But why is this? Is there some reason the compiler cant handle public partial methods?
