in c# are methods private by default?

Question

If I have a method that does not specify its Accessibility Level will it be Private by default?

void Item_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e) {     throw new NotImplementedException(); }         

Is the above method private?

Answer 1

It is. The general rule if you don't define any modifier is "the most restricted modifier that can be applied here is used", so private for methods, internal for top-level classes, etc.

Answer 2

Yes, it is private.
