Is it Possible to expose a private variable in c# ?

i just wanted to know Is it Possible to expose a private variable in c# ? I know if data of a class is private means is not accessible from outside class. if, yes, then how ?

Solution

  • It is possible. Use Reflection for that:

    Type type = yourObj.GetType();
BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance;
FieldInfo field = type.GetField("fieldName", flags);
object value = field.GetValue(yourObj);

    Reflection allows to read type's metadata at runtime and uncover types internals (fields, propertis etc).
