Protected Class In C#
<p>This compiles well for me - However other people on a different thread are saying that protected classes cannot be declared in c# at top level</p>

<p>Is that the case?</p>

<pre><code>using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    protected class CsvReader
    {
    }
}
</code></pre>
