No Protected visibility from Libraries

[Guest makai]

If your class library (compiled to DLL - not COM) has a Protected level procedure, it can not be accessed from a derived class

 

this seems like a bug to me

 

I understand that Friend is not allowed since any client of the library has to be from a different project

 

but Protected allows visibility from other projects ... nicht va?

Protected members can be accessed from classes deriving from the first class. I know this to be the case, I've used it (yes, from different projects) many times.

thanks - I was just Dimming the class library and not inheriting it in another class - well I'm making some progress ....
