Fields in a type

Hi all, this has prob. been answered before but cant find n e thing definitive via search, can u have private fields in a type? i've tried puttng private in front of field but get an error : Syntax error in user defined type declararion

many thx

no

Found these by searching with 'Private Field' :
Private Fields, or Variables In a Type
plee for Properties, Private Fields

What if each of your private fields is just an Object, and then you don't have anything within or outside of the type stating what kind of object it is, so that nothing knows how to convert it to a real object, then within your method/function within the type convert it to the type of object you know it to be?

oO

What if we just get 'private' & 'public' in the next update? :P

thanks for your help guys, appreciated :-)
