Access Specifiers in C#

Access Specifiers defines the scope of a class member (variable or function).

Five types of access specifiers:

• Public Access Specifiers - can be accessed from anywhere even outside the namespace
• Private Access Specifiers - hides its member variable and method from other class and methods. However, get(return value- retrieving value from private field)  set(return void - store value in private variables) property can retrieve or store private access modifiers values.
• Protected Access Specifiers - member variable and method can only be accessed in child class
• Internal Access Specifiers - hides its member variables and methods from other classes and objects in other namespace
• Protected Internal Access Specifiers.- allows its members to be accessed in derived class, containing class or classes within the same namespace.
