Introduction

Access modifiers are keywords used to specify the declared accessibility

of a member or a type. These define the permission level to type
members ( Methods, Properties, Events, Variables).

Background

All type and type members have an accessibility level which controls
whether they can be used by the code in the same assembly in which
the type declared or the code in the other assembly.

Private Access Modifier

• Objects that implement private access modifier are accessible only

inside a class or a structure. As a result, we can’t access them outside
the class they are created:

everywhere in our project. Therefore, there are no accessibility
restrictions:

Protected Access Modifier

The protected keyword implies that the object is accessible inside the
class and in all classes that derive from that class.

The internal keyword specifies that the object is accessible only inside
its own assembly but not in other assemblies:

Protected Internal Access Modifier

The protected internal access modifier is a combination of protected

and internal. As a result, we can access the protected internal member
only in the same assembly or in a derived class in other assemblies
(projects):
