'class' : invalid assembly access specifier - only 'public' or 'private' are allowed

The following sample generates C3380:

#using <mscorlib.dll>
protected __gc class A {   // C3380. Remove protected keyword.
public:
   static int i = 9;
};

void main() {
   A *myA = new A;
   Console::WriteLine(myA->i);
}
