10.4 Members
Namespaces and types have members. [Note: The members of an entity are generally available through the
use of a qualified name that starts with a reference to the entity, followed by a "." token, followed by the
name of the member. end note]
Members of a type are either declared in the type or inherited from the base class of the type. When a type inherits from a base class, all members of the base class, except instance constructors, finalizers, and static constructors become members of the derived type. The declared accessibility of a base class member does not control whether the member is inherited—inheritance extends to any member that isn’t an instance constructor, static constructor, or finalizer. However, an inherited member might not be accessible in a derived type, either because of its declared accessibility (§10.5.1) or because it is hidden by a declaration in the type itself (§10.7.1.2).
