I was out of curiosity wondering if there was any scenario in which a private getter and a public setter would be desired or make sense.

public string Foo { private get; set; }

Also if there is any such use case for a protected getter.

public string Foo { protected get; set; }

Anyone got any scenarios or use cases for this?

No. If it's writable, why not allow to read it? – René Vogt Mar 23 '16 at 13:49

It's rare, but there might be some situations; like setting a password. – Dennis_E Mar 23 '16 at 13:54
