Solution 1

To make a member accessible, make it friend (internal in C#). To also make it accessible between different assemblies, make it public.

5. Or one could use properties to expose values across classes.

Thank you, Abhinav.

This is a good point. I just answered in a most general way. But of course, it is usually recommended, for better maintainability of code, to expose only some properties and methods, keeping all fields private. Thank you for reminding me.

Solution 2

You can use properties to expose values in one class and use them in the other.
You will need instances of these classes in this case.
