Hi,

If we use "protected" before a method/variable, it can be accessed only to derived class.

If we use "internal" before a method/variable, it can be access only within the same assembly.

So, internal protected can be accessed within the same assembly as well as in derived class.

protected constructors - Yes, you can use I think. Below is some Info.

difference between internal protected and protected

Protected:

A protected member is accessible from within the class in which it is declared, and from within any class derived from the class that declared this member.

Internal Protected:

Internal types or members are accessible only within files in the same assembly.

The constructor is meant to be used by a derived class only.

If all the constructors are protected then I guess its a way of saying don't
declare a variable with this class, derive your own class from this class
and use that. But I'd also say there a better ways of doing that, just
making the class abstract will also have the same effect.
