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

Protected means that it is shared only with descendant classes, only private means that it can't be accessed by anyone else.

Edit: Hans comment makes your question a little more clear. When you combine modifiers like that, they combine inclusively not exclusively. It is accesse in all the ways internal or protected can be.
