Hi,

Friend Class RDFiles will make it only visible inside the project.

As Ken said, you can change the modifier to 'Friend'. If you want to
restrict access to some assemblies, you can check
'System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly' and decide on the return
value to call the code or to throw an exception.
