Question

Some say here that if members are protected you can access them:
Are private members inherited in C#?

Did someone really tried ?

I have tried it doesn’t even work with protected:

public partial class Base
{
    protected IObject myObject;
}

If I derive (Base is in another namespace but it shouldn’t matter I of course import that namespace)

public partial class Derive: Base
{

}

Intellisense doesn’t show myObject in Derive Class.

So what I can do if I need a myObjhect member in all my derived classes to call some methods upon ? If I have to duplicate that member then what’s the use of inheritance ?

Update: I forgot Derive:Base but that was just mystypo, of course I did that.

Answer 1

You have to actually derive from the Base class:

public partial class Derive : Base
{
}
