What is the difference between private and protected functions in c#?

Private : This can access only within the class. This function can access only within that class. We can not call this function using objects of the class.
Correct ?

Protected: I dont have any idea.

Public: This can be accessible outside the class.

Correct ?

Solution 2

Protected - Its means that type is assisible with in your class and class which is deriving it.

example

C#

public class A
{
   protected int prop1 {get;set;}//accessible in class 
}

public class B :A
{
  //this class can access prop1
}

public class c
{
  //as this class is not deriving from class , it not allowed to access prop1 
}

i hope i m clear and this will help you

Thanks...

public class A
{
private int prop1 {get;set;}//accessible in class
}

public class B :A
{
//Can this class access prop1 ?
}

no because prop1 is private variable you need to make it Protected...if you want to access it
