Is it possible to have different access modifiers on the get/set methods of a property?

No. The access modifier on a property applies to both its get and set accessors. What you need to do if you want them to be different is make the property read-only (by only providing a get accessor) and create a private/internal set method that is separate from the property.

This is possible in the current version of .NET 2.0.

For example: The property is public and the set accessor can be made protected.
