[RESOLVED] [2005] Question

[shakti5385]

The public protected and the private property values are three property value that are common across all the .NET languages but VisualBasic.NET support two other value, Friend and Protected Friend

What is the use of both this value how to use it? Where to use it?

[jmcilhinney]

Have you read the documentation? If not why not? If so what part is not clear?

The Friend (Visual Basic) keyword in the declaration statement specifies that the elements are accessible from within the same assembly, but not from outside the assembly.

The Protected and Friend keywords together in the declaration statement specify that the elements are accessible either from derived classes or from within the same assembly, or both.

C# and C++.NET both have the 'protected' key word too. Also, the C# equivalent of 'Friend' is 'internal', so this is by no means VB-specific.

You should ALWAYS check MSDN and don't rely on any book to have everything. You should install the MSDN library locally but, if you can't or don't want to for some reason it is all available on-line. It should always be the first place you look if you need information.
