How to call protected constructor in c#?

Question

How to call protected constructor?

public class Foo{
  public Foo(a lot of arguments){}
  protected Foo(){}
}
var foo=???

This obviously fails

Answer 1

The only way to cause a protected constructor to be called is to derive from the class and have the derived class delegate to it or to have a static method create it or some other internal method.
