what does it mean "private xxxxxxx" in visual studio ArcObjects using c#?

Question

I am new to ArcObjects using c# in visual studio 10. In some code, it often have something like this:

private bool m_isMouseDown = false;
private ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.INewLineFeedback m_lineFeedback;
private IActiveView m_focusMap;

Can someone tell me what is the meaning? Does it mean in the code following these description, m_fucusMap will indicate or represent IActiveView?

Thanks in advance.

You should really start with a [C#/.NET tutorial](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/hh341490). — millimoose, Mar 27 '12 at 21:19

private means that a method (function) or variable can only be accessed within the class in which you're declaring it.

You might want to learn some more about C# or object-oriented programming in general if you're not familiar with these concepts.
