internal protected property still accessible from a different assembly

Question

I\'m setting up some demo code for a beginner session on accessibility and I found that I am able to access an internal protected property from a derived class. What am I missin

Answer 1

The protected keyword is a member access modifier. A protected member is accessible from within the class in which it is declared, and from within any class derived from the class that declared this member.

By combining the protected and internal keywords, a class member can be marked protected internal — only derived types or types within the same assembly can access that member.
