MVC6 - Accessing the internal classes from another assembly

[Meikandan]

Hi,

We are trying to access the internal classes from one project to another. Earlier in other platforms we used the "InternalsVisibleTo" attributte to achieve this. Seems this is missing in MVC6.What is the equivalent for this attribute in MVC6.

Thanks,

Meikandan

InternalsVisibleTo works the exact same way as it always worked. Can you show what you tried and what doesn't work?

BTW it's not specific to MVC 6, it's a general .NET feature.

Hi Eilon,
I am working with class libraries in MVC 6. Previously in other platforms I will specify this “InternalsVisibleTo” attribute in "AssemblyInfo.cs" class of the project which needs to be shared. But there is no AssemblyInfo.cs class in MVC 6 class libraries. So where should i specify this attribute?
Example:
AssemblyA -> AssemblyInfo.cs -> [assembly:System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleTo("AssemblyB”)]
By specifying this in “AssemblyA” will give access to “AssemblyB” to access its internal classes and properties.
In MVC 6 class libraries there is no startup classes or entry classes like “AssembltInfo.cs”. So where should I specify this attribute. In MVC 6 only “project.jason” file is available.
Thanks,

@Meikandan it's the same thing. Just add an AssemblyInfo.cs file (you can copy an existing one you have) and put the same attributes in it. I logged a bug to add an AssemblyInfo.cs file to new projects to make this easier. But in the meantime just add the file yourself and it will work exactly the same way it did before.

HI Eilon,

Adding the file myself got worked.

Thanks,
