❔ Difference between public property with protected setters and getters and protected property?

Thinker•10/6/23, 8:51 PM

Iirc it's not possible for a property getter to have an accessibility equal to or less than the setter (besides public)

REPL Result: Failure

class C
{
    public int X { protected get; protected set; }
}

class C
{
    public int X { protected get; protected set; }
}

Exception: CompilationErrorException

- Cannot specify accessibility modifiers for both accessors of the property or indexer 'C.X'

it can be protected if the setter isnt

Thinker•10/6/23, 8:55 PM

In which case you'll have a property which anyone can set but only derived classes can read

if the property itself is protected, does it extend to both get and set?

Thinker•10/6/23, 9:18 PM

Yeah, then both the getter and setter with be protected
