Question

I Am working on an assignment and I get this error:

Error 1 Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type ‘MexWcfService.MyComplex’ is less accessible than method ‘MexWcfService.Calculator.complex_sum(MexWcfService.MyComplex, MexWcfService.MyComplex)’ E:\North Central College\CSC615\lab8\MexWcfService\MexWcfService\Program.cs 75 26 MexWcfService

Below is my code. My issue occurs inside the interface implementation class at ..public MyComplex complex_sum(MyComplex a, MyComplex b)…

Can some one help me out here. I am pretty new to C# let alone WCF with Metadata Exchange Endpoints. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

            MyComplex complex = new MyComplex(real, im);
            return complex;

            host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(Calculator), new BasicHttpBinding(), "mult");
            ServiceMetadataBehavior bhv = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
            bhv.HttpGetEnabled = true;
            host.Description.Behaviors.Add(bhv);
            host.Open();
            Console.ReadLine();

Answer 1

You need to declare the class ‘MyComplex’ as public, as you have used the type in a public method in the class Calculator.
