           Summary: CS0122 error when accessing member hidden by non-

When a member of base class is "hidden" by a non-accessible member, then (g)mcs
reports CS0122 when the public member is referenced while it should ignore the
hiding member since it is not publicly accessible.

To reproduce, compile the following code:

using System;

class Program
{
        static int Main ()
        {
                B b = new B ();
                if (b.Message != "OK")
                        return 1;
                return 0;
        }
}

class A
{
        public virtual string Message {
                get {
                        return "OK";
                }
        }
}

class B : A
{
        new string Message {
                get {
                        throw new Exception ();
                }
        }
}

Expected result:

Successful compilation.

Actual result:

test.cs(8,21): error CS0122: `B.Message' is inaccessible due to its protection
 level
