Access Modifiers in c#

Access Modifiers in C#
Access Modifiers (Access Specifiers) describes as the scope of accessibility of an Object and its members. All C# types and type members have an accessibility level . We can control the scope of the member object of a class using access specifiers. We are using access modifiers for providing security of our applications. When we specify the accessibility of a type or member we have to declare it by using any of the access modifiers provided by C# language.

C# provide five access specifiers , they are as follows:

1. public: Access is not restricted.
2. protected: Access is limited to the containing class or types derived from the containing class.
3. internal: Access is limited to the current assembly.
4. protected internal: Access is limited to the current assembly or types derived from the containing class.
5. private: Access is limited to the containing type.
