Solution 2

Yes you can.

C#

 namespace Private_Classes
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        }

        private class Test
        {
            public Test()
            {
            }

            public Test(string Value)
            {
            }

            //these  throws an compile Error "already defines a member called 'Test' with the same parameter types"
            //public Test(string TurnOff)
            //{
            //}

            //public Test()
            //{
            //}
        }
    }
}

But as this forum thread indicates where you would more than likely use an approach.

Simon, the question is about private constructors. do u remember?

Simon_Whale 10-Dec-12 7:04am

then how would you make a usable private class with 2 private constructors? I'm curious that is why I am asking. As you can't see more than the first default constructor if you attempt to construct the example I've given.

So to truly answer the OP question the answer should of been NO. As from both the examples that you have shown only allow for a single private constructor as this is used to initalise variables or perform some logic, and I also tried to achieve what he was after in a sample application and couldn't with multiple PRIVATE constructors.

To allow near to his answer the Constructors should be public and the class declaration private.
