Encapsulation and abstraction is the advanced mechanism in C# that lets your program to hide unwanted code within a capsule and shows only essential features of an object. Encapsulation is used to hide its members from outside class or interface, whereas abstraction is used to show only essential features. In C# programming, Encapsulation uses five types of modifier to encapsulate data. These modifiers are public, private, internal, protected and protected internal. These all includes different types of characteristics and makes different types of boundary of code.

Abstraction focuses on the outside view of an object (i.e. the interface) Encapsulation (information hiding) prevents clients from seeing it's inside view, where the behavior of the abstraction is implemented.

Abstraction solves the problem in the design side while Encapsulation is the Implementation.

Encapsulation is the deliverables of Abstraction. Encapsulation barely talks about grouping up your abstraction to suit the developer needs.

Abstraction Example:The Outer Look of a Mobile Phone, which has a display screen and keypad buttons to dial a number.

Encapsulation Example:Inner Implementation detail of a Mobile Phone, how the keypad button and Display Screen are connected with each other using circuits.
