I have two UserControl, one inherited from the other.
This controls have two DataGridView, contained in a SplitContainer. In the "base" user control, I defined access modifier for both DataGrid and the SplitContainer to protected.
In the design mode in the inherited user control, I can modify the SplitContainer. It should then be also possible to modify both DataGrid, since they are also defined as protected. However, I can't. They are locked and I can't change any property of them.
Why does this happen?
