Require that all calls come from code in a specific class

Seth

I have a function that takes a Type object as one of its arguments, and I'd like to make sure that it only gets called from code within the class indicated by the given Type. What's the best, most performant way of doing this?

The function can't be internal because I still want to be able to call it from other assemblies. I figured out how to work it, though. I can use the StackTrace class to get a stack trace, and put the MethodImpl attribute on the function I'm looking for in the stack trace so it won't be inlined out. If anyone knows a better way, feel free to let me know. I had been hoping to find something in the System.Security namespace for this.

Could you set the accessor for the class to protected/internal? not sure if it is possible in your case...
