Why is internal protected not more restrictive than internal?
access-modifiers, c#
Solution
It's effectively `protected` or `internal`, not and. It's accessible both by derived classes and types in the same assembly. It's a common misconception to think `protected internal` means accessible only to derived classes in the same assembly.
Problem
I'd like to create an internal auto-property: ``` internal bool IP { get; protected internal set; } ``` I thought it would be possible to make the setter `protected` or `protected internal` - but I always get the error accessibility modifier must be more restrictive than the property. Isn't that the case? `Private` does not help me, here. EDIT: The question is: How do I implement an auto-property with a internal getter and a protected setter?
