Usage In your unit tests

    [Fact]
    public void SetTest()
    {
        int testValue = 23;

        ITestClass instance = new TestClass();
        PrivateHelper.SetProperty(instance, "Value", testValue);
        Assert.Equal(testValue, instance.GetValue());
}

    [Fact]
    public void Test2()
    {
        int testValue = 56;

        ITestClass instance = new TestClass();
        instance.SetValue(testValue);
        Assert.Equal(testValue, (int)PrivateHelper.GetProperty(instance, "Value"));
    }
