ReferentialConstraint that, when applied to a declaration, limits the scope (namespace or type) in which this declaration
can be used. This constraint is useful to isolate several components from each other, even if they are implemented in
the same assembly. The ComponentInternal constraint sets the visibility of a declaration between internal and private.
Inheritance
Namespace: PostSharp.Constraints
Assembly: PostSharp.dll
Syntax
public sealed class ComponentInternalAttribute : ReferenceConstraint, IReferentialConstraint, IConstraintRemarks
With the default constructor, the declaration can be used only from the namespace of its declaring type. The other constructors accept a list of friend types or namespaces. A friend namespace also grants access to its child namespaces. Code in the same top-level type as the target declaration always has access.
A violation emits the warning AR0102. Set Severity to Error to make it an error.
SuppressWarningAttribute can suppress the warning where the declaration is used, but cannot suppress an error.
References from other assemblies are validated only when the target declaration is public and the referencing project is processed by PostSharp.
Constructors
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ComponentInternalAttribute() | Initializes a new instance of the ComponentInternalAttribute class that prevents the target declaration from being used from a namespace other than the namespace of the declaration. |
| ComponentInternalAttribute(params string[]) | Initializes a new instance of the ComponentInternalAttribute class that prevents the target declaration from being used outside of the given types or namespaces, which are specified as strings. |
| ComponentInternalAttribute(params Type[]) | Initializes a new instance of the ComponentInternalAttribute class that prevents the target declaration from being used outside of the given types or namespaces, which are specified as Type objects. |
Properties

Methods
| Name | Description |

| ValidateReference(ICodeReference) | Validates a reference to the target declaration of the current constraint. |
