protected and private

[yurps]

what is the difference between class members which are marked with
these....?

I wonder because I have a namespace with a few different classes...
I want to use a method from another class...currently it only works
with public...but that means anybody can use this method and I don't
want that...

what's up here?

You probably want internal (or friend in vb.net)

internal/friend means that only classes in the same assembly (dll/project)
can call on the member.

protected means only classes which inherit or the class itself
private means only the class itself

yuo can have internal protected (both of them) which would mean any class
in the assembly OR any child class..
