Hi arijeet, Making thing public is not against the law of OOP.Every access modifier serving a purpose. for consumimg the array to another class and array is private member then you can pass that array as parameter to another class using constructor or method calling. well, array is a reference type datatype so consumer class will hold its reference. The change will be reflect both of class object. For protected member, you can use inheritance too. Private and protected members are not exposeble threw class object, so public data member able to consume by creating a new object in a consumers class.

OK, keep array as private only, just you pass array to another class constructor as parameter while creating object so that you can access in another using parameter contructor. https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/how-to-access-private-variables-of-a-class-in-another-class-in-c-sharp

Hello Arijeet Ghosh, you can pass array to another class constructor as parameter while creating object so that you can access in another using parameter contructor. another way is for example declared public array in A class then in B class create object A class and acess in method or properties or constructor. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/0a4b96d2-cf43-4249-be9f-50515c8cd47a/acess-an-arraylist-from-another-class?forum=csharpgeneral
