positive.
"protected" access specifier makes the members visible only
to self, to friends, and to derived classes.
"virtual" specifier means it's a special function utilising
run-time type of the object. Virtual functions are known as
"dynamically bound".
I am not sure what it corresponds to in VB, but sounds like
you've found a very close match. Keep in mind that when
different languages are concerned, you can never be "100%
positive".
