Is there a way to reach a `protected` member of another object from a derived type?

Question

class MyBase
{
    protected object PropertyOfBase { get; set; }
}

class MyType : MyBase
{
    void MyMethod(MyBase parameter)
    {
        // I am looking for:
           


        

Answer 1

A protected property is only accessible to an instance of a derived class, not to instances of derived classes.

There is a difference and it does make sense, protected members should not give up their value to any other instance, even an instance derived from the same type.
