Question

How do I get around Inconsistant accessibilty error in C # ?

I need to pass a pointer to a node in a linked list to a method.
When I do, I get a “Compiler Error CS0051”

Example
The following sample generates CS0051:

// CS0051.cs
public class A
{
  // Try making B public since F is public
  // B is implicitly private here
  class B
  {
  }

  public static void F(B b)  // CS0051
  {
  }

  public static void Main()
  {
  }
}

That is a simple example. The actual program is a bit more complicated. I am actually using a node in a linked list to pass to the method
LinkedListNode node

The method uses recursion because the node is mart of a huge linked list structure of linked lists that outputs an xml file.
Either I have to find a way to use recursion without using methods or I need to find a way to pass pointers nodes or actual nodes.

Answer 1

You cannot have a parameter defined as less than public on a public method.

In the example above, B should be public if you want to use it on the public F method.
