What is the default access for a class in C#?

If no access modifier is specified, then the default is Internal. Internal access specifier allows a class to expose its member variables and member functions to other functions and objects in the current assembly. In other words, any member with internal access specifier can be accessed from any class or method defined within the application in which the member is defined.

The following is an example showing the usage of Internal access specifier −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;

namespace RectangleApplication {
   class Rectangle {
      //member variables
      internal double length;
      internal double width;

      double GetArea() {
         return length * width;
      }

      public void Display() {
         Console.WriteLine("Length: {0}", length);
         Console.WriteLine("Width: {0}", width);
         Console.WriteLine("Area: {0}", GetArea());
      }

   }//end class Rectangle

   class ExecuteRectangle {
      static void Main(string[] args) {
         Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
         r.length = 4.5;
         r.width = 3.5;
         r.Display();
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}

Output

Length: 4.5
Width: 3.5
Area: 15.75
