In c# it would be to make the method public or static or even both.

eg... public static void SomeMethod() {

Why do you insist on using SendMessage? It is probably the worst option of them all and unless you have a good reason for using it, you can easily avoid it. If your methods are public, you can simply call them from wherever you want.

Now as mentioned by the commenter above, depending on your specific use case, you may be looking for a way to broadcast events to several objects, and in this case it would probably be best to use events.
