           protected

  • C# Access Modifiers: [protected] Reference from Microsoft®


    • Any member of a class declared as protected can be accessed ONLY within the defining class and any deriving classes.

    Structs cannot be protected because they can't be inherited.

    The protected keyword can be applied to members of a class only - not the class or other types. public class MyClass { protected String strMyString1 = "tes1t..."; private String strMyString2 = "test2..."; } public class MyClass2 : MyClass { public MyClass2() { MyClass mc = new MyClass(); // this will cause an error: String str = mc.strMyString2; String str = this.strMyString1; // this is OK // this will cause and error: String str = mc.strMyString1; } }
