I checked on the attributes ... I find nothing special... (its not
sealed)
Yeha the class does have a protected constructor so *no one* can create
an instance of it ! But the C# Reference documentation mention's no way
you could programmatically restrict a class being just invoked within a
particular assembly .. It could be possible that this assembly was
written in some other .NET language that allows such class hiding ...

No problems ...
Anyways I was going through NotifyIcon class in ILDASM .. on viewing the
IL of the private method ShowContextMenu, it revels a great deal on how
MS has implemented this class...

*** I will go through it - sounds interesting.

But the thing that baffles me is that the IL shows instantiation of
*undocumented* class System.Windows.Forms.NativeMethods ... This class
has a private constructor... But I can't use that class or its static
fields .... It throws an exception that the class is inaccessible due to
its protection level... But if that's the case then how could the MS
guys access it ....??

*** To possibilities. What about an internal flag? Just an idea - can it
be that this is internal private or something, so calls from the same
assembly work? Also, what about protection attributes that explicitly
block you from calling? Hm, no - too much hassle.

Any ideas on this one??

*** Nothing besides the stuff above.

PS: I was not joking, I indeed use my mouse with my left-hand !!

*** Well, this explains.

*** Regards

*** THomas
