# x:ClassModifier Directive
|
|
|
|
Modifies XAML compilation behavior when `x:Class` is also provided. Specifically, instead of creating a partial `class` that has a `Public` access level (the default), the provided `x:Class` is created with a `NotPublic` access level. This behavior affects the access level for the class in the generated assemblies.
|
|
|
|
## XAML Attribute Usage
|
|
|
|
```xaml
|
|
<object x:Class="namespace.classname" x:ClassModifier="NotPublic">
|
|
...
|
|
</object>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## XAML Values
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
|-------|-------------|
|
|
|*NotPublic*|The exact string to pass to specify <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.Public?displayProperty=nameWithType> versus <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.NotPublic?displayProperty=nameWithType> varies, depending on the code-behind programming language that you use. See Remarks.|
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
[x:Class](xclass-directive.md) must also be provided on the same element, and that element must be the root element in a page. For more information, see [\[MS-XAML\] Section 4.3.1.8](/previous-versions/msp-n-p/ff650760(v=pandp.10)).
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
The value of `x:ClassModifier` in .NET XAML Services usage varies by programming language. The string to use depends on how each language implements its <xref:System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider> and the type converters it returns to define the meanings for <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.Public?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.NotPublic?displayProperty=nameWithType>, and whether that language is case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
- For C#, the string to pass to designate <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.NotPublic?displayProperty=nameWithType> is `internal`.
|
|
|
|
- For Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, the string to pass to designate <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.NotPublic?displayProperty=nameWithType> is `Friend`.
|
|
|
|
- For C++/CLI, no targets exist that support compiling XAML; therefore, the value to pass is unspecified.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.Public?displayProperty=nameWithType> (`public` in C#, `Public` in Visual Basic); however, specifying <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.Public?displayProperty=nameWithType> is infrequently done because <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.Public?displayProperty=nameWithType> is already the default behavior.
|
|
|
|
Other values with equivalent user code access-level restrictions, such as `private` in C#, are not relevant for `x:ClassModifier` because nested class references are not supported in XAML, and therefore, the <xref:System.Reflection.TypeAttributes.NotPublic?displayProperty=nameWithType> modifier has the same effect.
|
|
|
|
## Security Notes
|
|
|
|
The access level as declared in `x:ClassModifier` is still subject to interpretation by particular frameworks and their capabilities. WPF includes capabilities to load and instantiate types where `x:ClassModifier` is `internal`, if that class is referenced from a WPF resource through a pack URI reference. As a consequence of this case and potentially others like it implemented by other frameworks, do not rely exclusively on `x:ClassModifier` to block all possible instantiation attempts.
