• Class members (properties, methods, etc.):

  • Default: private

  • If you do not specify an access modifier, the member is private and accessible only within the class itself.

• Top-level classes and structs:

  • Default: internal

  • If you do not specify a modifier, the class or struct is accessible only within the same assembly  (usually the same project in .NET).
