Object Class's protected method MemberWiseClone()

Question

This might be a dumb question, but I don't get it:

I have a class called Card. I want to do a shallow clone using MemberWiseClone(). In Theory Card inherits from Object. So it should be able to use MemberWiseClone(), even if MWC() is protected ??

Am I missing/forgetting something?

Answer 1

Card can use it.

class Card
{
   public Card Clone()
   {
      return (Card)MemberwiseClone();
   }
}
