Vaibhav, I think that there is no way how you can restrict their access in derived class other than declaring it private. Yeah in c++ we have that concept to give access level in deriving but i think there is no way in C#. By making the class Sealed you cannot derived it, if you want to derive and dont want to use in your derived class better give private accessiblity to the data members of that class.

hi...gopesh

you are right...we have no other way to restrict the base class members to be used in the derived class without applying the concept of private modifier.

hi Maheshvishnu.

Sealed classes are those class which are not further inherited by any class. So, it is a different scenario.
