Hi Jegan Priya, There is three ways available to achieve your requirement. Please have the following link http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/6f0898/how-to-access-a-private-member-of-a-class-from-other-class/#ReadAndPostComment Access the private member using reflection As we know, reflection is a way to access the members of a class. So we can use the "System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance" flags using the GetField method, as per the following code. namespace Access_Private_Member { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { ExampleOne one = new ExampleOne (); } } public class Tamil { private string message = " à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯ à®µà®¾à®´à¯à®• !" ; } public class ExampleOne : Tamil { public ExampleOne() { System.Reflection. FieldInfo receivedObject = typeof ( Tamil ).GetFields(System.Reflection. BindingFlags .NonPublic | System.Reflection. BindingFlags .Instance)[0]; var obj = receivedObject.GetValue( this ); MessageBox .Show( "Access the private member using Reflection 
 " +obj.ToString()); } } } Access the private member using base by sub-class This is another way that uses the class as a sub-class and accesses the private member using the base. The following code demonstrates the logic. namespace Access_Private_Member { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { TamilValga . ExampleTwo two = new TamilValga . ExampleTwo (); } } public class TamilValga { private string message = " à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯ à®µà®¾à®´à¯à®• !" ; public class ExampleTwo : TamilValga { public ExampleTwo() { MessageBox .Show( "Access the private member using base by sub-class 
 " + base .message); } } } } Access the private member by methods This is a very simple way to access the private member of a class without inheriting the class by declaring a public method of the same class as per the following code. namespace Access_Private_Member { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { Tamil three = new Tamil (); MessageBox .Show( "Acess the private member by methods 
" + three.AccessPriveMemberMessage( " à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯ à®µà®¾à®´à¯à®• ! à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯ à®µà®³à®°à¯à®• !!" )); } } public class Tamil { private string message = " à®¤à®®à®¿à®´à¯ à®µà®¾à®´à¯à®• !" ; public string AccessPriveMemberMessage( string value) { message = value; return message; } } }
