c# - Change the access modifier in runtime

Question

Solely for the sake of example I've written this:

public class MyClass
{
    private int MyMethod()
    {
        return 1;
    }
}

Is there any way to change access modifier of MyClass::MyMethod() in runtime to public using Reflection or something else and then invoke it?

Not really sure if you can modify the access specifier, but you can call the private method through reflection like:

MyClass instance = new MyClass();
MethodInfo yourMethod = instance
                            .GetType()
                            .GetMethod("MyMethod", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
var returnValue = yourMethod.Invoke(instance, new object[] { });
Console.WriteLine(returnValue);
