Hi, C# allows you to make the constructor as private in the public class. public class Sample { private Sample() //Its valid { } } You want to see private constructors in the C# language and how they can be used to ensure higher-quality code bases on complex projects. Private constructors eliminate the ability of external code in the project to instantiate the class directly, forcing the class to provide a controlled and unified access pattern, as through a singleton. This C# example program uses a private constructor. Private constructors are needed by singletons. If you are trying to create the instance of the class Sample Sample sample = new Sample(); //It throws error. But if you have static properties then you are eligible to access those properties. Because it can be accessed without creating the instanced. For more info, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kcfb85a6(v=vs.80).aspx

You can do it. If someone is tell you that you cannot then you need to ask them what the reason is.
