Is it possible for methods to have dual access modifiers? [duplicate]

Question

I have many methods that are defined internal like so:

internal static string GetAJobShaNaNaNaShaNaNaNaNaNa(string Silhouettes)

However, in order to call them from a test project added to the solution, I need to change their access modifier from internal to public.

Is there a non-tedious way to make these methods public to the tests, yet remain internal otherwise?

Just ran out of close votes, so I'll leave this here for someone else: stackoverflow.com/questions/358196/… — Cody Gray

If you truly need to test internal methods, and not just their public interfaces, then you can use the InternalsVisibleTo attribute. — Cody Gray

Why not add InternalsVisibleTo in your assembly to allow the tests access?

[assembly:InternalsVisibleTo("YourTestAssembly")]

Just to be clear for others, this needs to be added to the \Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs file
