Should a protected property in a C# child class hide access to a public property on the parent?

I have the following code:
public class Parent
{
public string MyField { get; set; }
}
public class Child : Parent
{
protected new int MyField { get; set; }
}
I try and access this with:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Child child = new Child();
child.MyField = "something";
}
Visual studio 2008 compiles this without comment, but under Mono (2.4.2, Ubuntu) I get the error message
'HideTest.Child.MyField' is inaccessible due to its protection level (CS0122)
Is one implementation or the other more compliant with the standard here?
