Hi you can use reflection to get any component of a class.

here is one demo. Try it

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;

namespace ExposePrivateVariablesUsingReflection
{
    class Program
    {
        private class MyPrivateClass
        {
            private string MyPrivateFunc(string message)
            {
                return message + "Yes";
            }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var mpc = new MyPrivateClass();
            Type type = mpc.GetType();

            var output = (string)type.InvokeMember("MyPrivateFunc",
                                    BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod |
                                    BindingFlags.NonPublic, null, mpc,
                                    new object[] {"Is Exposed private Member ? "});

            Console.WriteLine("Output : " + output);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
