CSHARP.CLASS.VIS.METH.PRIV : Method Should be private (C#)

Summary

A method in a weakly protected class is public, but should not be.

We call a class weakly protected if its objects are run in unsafe contexts and so its application programming interface should be as protective as possible. The checker has a built-in set of classes that are considered weakly protected. To specify additional classes should be treated as weakly protected, annotate them with the attribute [WeaklyProtected] (com.juliasoft.julia.checkers.methodShouldBePrivate.WeaklyProtected).

The checker will not issue a warning for a method that overrides another method, or that is overridden in subclasses.
