hello Codeproject
How can I hide one method of a class Inside a class Library from showing in Intellisense??

I tried [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
but it only work when we unload the Class library project from the solution and add the .dll as reference

Is there any other way to hide public properties and methods from Intellisense?

any Help will be Appreciated

Regards
Salam

May I ask why you want to hide public properties and methods only in IntelliSense?

This is actually by design, as you are the designer/programmer of the library, and not the end user. You actually hit the solution for this yourself, make the library a separate project, and reference the dll in your main project.

Is there any other way to hide these public fields from Intellisense?
Because when we are doing big projects we should have to keep all class libraries and project inside a single solution.

Why is that, the while idea of writing a class library is so that you can reuse the functions in other projects?

I disagree. Class Library DLL's are a terrible thing and should never be used outside of what the OS itself includes.
Most developers throw their DLLs into the Windows System folder during install, then never remove them during uninstall; they break their own DLLs with versioning issues; and generally cause all manner of end-user and IT problems.
It is just as easy (or easier) to use Add As Link to existing common source libraries to integrate them into the single assembly/executable.
Microsoft should include a metatag that hides classes from Intellisense, that would be the superior route.
