Protected access modifier in Struct

[Stephen]

Hi,

Please do tell me why i cant have a protected access modifier in a struct?
i get this error

namespace StructExample
{
class Tester
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//instance of struct
}
}

internal struct Location
{
protected Location(int xCoordinate, int yCoordinate, int StatusValue)
{
//initialization
}
}
}

"StructExample.Location.Location(int, int, int)' : new protected member
declared in struct" -- Error Message


Thanks,
Stephen

Structure members can't be protected because you cannot inherit from a
struct...doesn't make sense why you'd do it, so they don't let you.
