Question

On the link I show you all my classes in my program

I have properties in my customerframe class like this:

 public string firstName { get; set; }
 public string lastName { get; set; }
 public CustomerFiles.Phone phone { get; set; }
 public CustomerFiles.Email email { get; set; }
 public CustomerFiles.Address addressinfo { get; set; }
 public string city { get; set; }
 public CustomerFiles.Countries countryinfo { get; set; }
 public string street { get; set; }
 public string zipcode { get; set; }

but my problem is that when doing this I get error pointing to these 4 properties

public CustomerFiles.Phone phone { get; set; }
public CustomerFiles.Email email { get; set; }
public CustomerFiles.Address addressinfo { get; set; }
public CustomerFiles.Countries countryinfo { get; set; }

The error is this

inconsistent accessibility property type is less accessible than
property

Further down in class and I’ll do the following:

        contact.FirstName = tbFirstName.Text;
        firstName = contact.FirstName;

        contact.LastName = tbLastName.Text;
        lastName = contact.LastName;

        contact.PhoneData = tbCellPhone.Text;
        phone = contact.PhoneData;

        contact.EmailData = tbHomePhone.Text;
        email = contact.EmailData;

        //inside address class
        address.City = tbCity.Text;
        city = address.City;

        address.Country = cbCountry.Text;
       countryinfo = address.Country;

        address.Street = tbStreet.Text;
        street = address.Street;

        address.ZipCode = tbZipCode.Text;
        zipcode = address.ZipCode;

But why do I get problem with my properties? How can I solve this to make it work? thanks in advance

Answer 1

It looks like when you created the CustomerFiles.Phone class it would look something like:

class Phone { }

This means that the class is internal. You can’t expose an internal class via a public property. That is crazy talk.

To fix, you should either change the class to be public:

public class Phone { }

Or the property to be internal:

 internal CustomerFiles.Phone phone { get; set; }
