Re: Creating a "public only" constructor

Wrap the constructor in a #if release?   Then it won't be available in debug?

The second constructor allows you to create a business services object on a different connection to the default - so I can specifically create business services objects connected to 2 different servers from within the same application. I then want to ensure that if I create an Invoice object on a given server, than any InvoiceItems it creates are on the same server, which would be done by using the second constructor. If a developer accidentally uses the default constructor, it could make a mess of the system.

I don't think you can.  Can you explain why you want to protect it from
internal classes?

Thanks,

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Creating a "public only" constructor

Hey, anyone know if you can do this with attributes or something? I want to
have 2 public constructors:

public ClassName()
{
}

public ClassName(some param)
{
}

I want both publically accessible, but I want the default one *inaccessible*
internally. Can that be done?
