Answer / benjamin marty
I guess the difference is this:
Friend can be accessed by
1. Code within the class
2. Code in derived classes within the same assembly
3. Other code in the same assembly
Protected can be accessed by
1. Code within the class
2. Code in derived classes within the same assemblies
3. Code in derived classes in other assemblies
Protected Friend can be accessed by
1. Code within the class
2. Code in derived classes within the same assembly
3. Other code in the same assembly
4. Code in derived classes in other assemblies

Answer / vineeta agarwal
Friends can be accessed by all classes within assembely but
not from outside the assembely.
Protected variables can be used within the class as well as
the classes that inherites this class.
The Protected Friend can be accessed by Members of the
Assembely (Friend) or the inheriting Assembely class
(Protected).
So Friend is not same as Protected Friend

Answer / rajeev pradhan
Protected variable will be accessed in inherited class, but
instance variable of class cant access protected variable.
While friend variable will be accessed in inherited class
as well as instance variable of class across the project.
Where we need both functionality we are using protected
friend scope.

Answer / kuru
Protected --> Accessible ONLY by 1.Derived classes 2.Within
the same class
Friend --> Accessible ONLY by 1.Derived classes 2.Classes
in the same assembly 3.Within the same class
Protected Friend --> Accessible ONLY by 1.Derived classes
2.Classes in the same assembly 3.Within the same class
This is a very strange prob for which I've been looking for
an answer for a long time. As you can see above Friend and
Protected Friend are exactly same simply because 'Friend'
encompasses the accessibilities of both Protected and
Protected Friend. The question here is why did Microsoft
publish a 'Protected Friend' keyword when it is EXACTLY
same as Friend.
