Re: [Ikvm-developers] Suggestion popups in visual studio with internal packages.

[Jeroen F. <je...@su...>]

Hi Dawid,

I have to ask the obvious question first, are you sure the assembly doesn't have an InternalsVisibleToAttribute for the assembly that you're editing in Visual Studio (or possibly an InternalsVisibletoAttribute that VS might misinterpret).

AFIAK, that's the only mechanism that allows non-public classes to be visible.

Also, it could be a simple Visual Studio caching bug, if you've only recently made the change. It wouldn't surprise me if the Intellisense stuff is cached somewhere in a database in the solution.

If you use one of these non-public classes and then build do you get the expected compile error?

Regards,
Jeroen
