<clause number="10.5.4" title="Accessibility constraints">
|
|
<paragraph>Several constructs in the C# language require a type to be at least as accessible as a member or another type. A type T is said to be at least as accessible as a member or type M if the accessibility domain of T is a superset of the accessibility domain of M. In other words, T is at least as accessible as M if T is accessible in all contexts in which M is accessible. </paragraph>

<paragraph>The following accessibility constraints exist: <list><list_item> The direct base class of a class type must be at least as accessible as the class type itself. </list_item><list_item> The explicit base interfaces of an interface type must be at least as accessible as the interface type itself. </list_item><list_item> The return type and parameter types of a delegate type must be at least as accessible as the delegate type itself. </list_item><list_item> The type of a constant must be at least as accessible as the constant itself. </list_item><list_item> The type of a field must be at least as accessible as the field itself. </list_item><list_item> The return type and parameter types of a method must be at least as accessible as the method itself. </list_item><list_item> The type of a property must be at least as accessible as the property itself. </list_item><list_item> The type of an event must be at least as accessible as the event itself. </list_item><list_item> The type and parameter types of an indexer must be at least as accessible as the indexer itself. </list_item><list_item> The return type and parameter types of an operator must be at least as accessible as the operator itself. </list_item><list_item> The parameter types of an instance constructor must be at least as accessible as the instance constructor itself. </list_item></list></paragraph>
