I'm unclear about the distinction between the Accessibility
values ProtectedAndInternal
and ProtectedOrInternal
.
I found a reference stating ProtectedOrInternal
maps to the source code construct protected internal.
But -- assuming that's correct -- what does it mean for something to be both protected and internal?
ProtectedOrInternal
corresponds to protected internal
:
The
protected internal
keyword combination is a member access modifier. A protected internal member is accessible from the current assembly or from types that are derived from the containing class. For a comparison ofprotected internal
with the other access modifiers, see Accessibility Levels.
ProtectedAndInternal
corresponds to private protected
:
The
private protected
keyword combination is a member access modifier. A private protected member is accessible by types derived from the containing class, but only within its containing assembly. For a comparison ofprivate protected
with the other access modifiers, see Accessibility Levels.
