C# protected method accessed by derived class

Can a derived class access it's base class's protected method with base.method()?

Like the following:

Class A
{   
  Protected doThis()   
}

Class B : A   
{   
  base.doThis();   
}

That is the definition of access modifier "protected":

you can just do doThis() in a method in the class

assuming you mean this :-

class A
{
    protected void doThis()
    {

    }
}

class B : A
{
    public void MyMethod()
    {
         doThis();
    }
}
