Is there a way to execute "internal" code via reflection?
Here is an example program:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
namespace ReflectionInternalTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
// Call normally
new TestClass();
// Call with Reflection
asm.CreateInstance("ReflectionInternalTest.TestClass",
false,
BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.CreateInstance,
null,
null,
null,
null);
// Pause
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
class TestClass
{
internal TestClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("Test class instantiated");
}
}
}
Creating a testclass normally works perfectly, however when i try to create an instance via reflection, I get a missingMethodException error saying it can't find the Constructor (which is what would happen if you tried calling it from outside the assembly).
Is this impossible, or is there some workaround i can do?
