  • protected - package + any subclasses
  • public - Open access

C#

  • private - Any code in this class (or struct)
  • protected - private + any subclass
  • internal - private + any other class (or struct) in this assembly
  • protected internal - private + any subclass + any other class (or struct) in this assembly
