Re: Concept: FRIEND

Oh My God... I already read this articles... but don't pay atention in this line:

"The Friend (Visual Basic) keyword in the declaration statement specifies that the elements can be accessed from within the same assembly, but not from outside the assembly. "

It's very clearer now.

Thanks for help, Nasser Malik.
