Why are my privates accessible?

Question

I have the following code:

public class PersonInitializer
{
    private Person _person;

    public static Person LoadFromFile(string path)
    {
        Per         


        

Answer 1

Private variable's/references are accessible only in the class in which they are defined.
Since in you case, the reference Person _person; is defined in the same class from where you are accessing it, it is accessible.
