Protecting Methods

All parts of classes, including fields, methods, and properties, have a level of protection or "visibility," as explained in Controlling access. Choosing the appropriate visibility for a method is simple.

Most methods you write in your components are public or protected. You rarely need to make a method private, unless it is truly specific to that type of component, to the point that even derived components should not have access to it.
