Does C# have the notion of private and protected inheritance?

Question

Does C# have the notion of private / protected inheritance, and if not, why?

C++

class Foo : private Bar {
 public:
   ...
 };

@bdukes: Keep in mind that you aren't truly hiding the member. E.g.:

class Base
{
   public void F() {}
}
class Derived : Base
{
   new private void F() {}
}

Base o = new Derived();
o.F();  // works

But this accomplishes the same as private inheritance in C++, which is what the questioner wanted.
