  <p>What I want is to have a class that is only accessible to other classes inside the same namespace without having to put the namespace in it's own assembly. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a reason this is not possible in C#?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I have change the question a little, since the compiler tells me that <code>private</code> is not allowed. Can anyone tell me the reason for this?</p>
