Question

Let me give you a quick example of my problem. I can’t seem to understand the error:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using NetApp.Manage;

namespace Toaster.Library
{
    class NetappConnection
    {
        private string Hostname     {get; set;}
        private int ApiMajor        {get; set;}
        private int ApiMinor        {get; set;}
        private string Username     {get; set;}
        private string Password     {get; set;}

        private NaServer NetappServer {get; set;}

        public void NetappConnection(string Hostname, int ApiMajor, int ApiMinor,     string Username, string Password)
        {
            this.Hostname = Hostname;
            this.ApiMajor = ApiMajor;
            this.ApiMinor = ApiMinor;
            this.Username = Username;
            this.Password = Password;

            this.ConnectToNetapp();
        }

        private void ConnectToNetapp()
        {
            NaServer s = new NaServer(this.Hostname, this.ApiMajor, this.ApiMinor);
            s.ServerType = NaServer.SERVER_TYPE.FILER;
            s.TransportType = NaServer.TRANSPORT_TYPE.HTTP;
            s.Port = 80;
            s.Style = NaServer.AUTH_STYLE.LOGIN_PASSWORD;
            s.SetAdminUser(this.Username, this.Password);

            this.NetappServer = s; <<-- Error: Ambiguity between 'Toaster.Library.NetappConnection.NetappServer' and 'Toaster.Library.NetappConnection.NetappServer()'
        }

        public NaServer NetappServer()
        {
            return this.NetappServer;
        }
    }
}

I a C# novice to be honest with you. But I don’t understand why this would not be possible. Is it because of I pass the referance from o to this.Variable?

The Goal of this should be that I’m able to reuse the NaServer Object.

Answer 1

private NaServer NetappServer {get; set;}

and

public NaServer NetappServer()

have the same name, change one.
