Compiler Warning (level 4) CS0628

'member' : new protected member declared in sealed class

A sealed class cannot introduce a protected member because no other class will be able to inherit from the sealed class and use the protected member.

The following sample generates CS0628:

// CS0628.cs
// compile with: /W:4
sealed class C
{
   protected int i;   // CS0628
}

class MyClass
{
   public static void Main()
   {
   }
}
