using enum Type on property

[Kevin Auch]

Hi,

I try to declare a property which is an enum type, but i doesn't works, I
get the following message :
"Inconsistent accessibility: property type 'eType' is less accessible than
property 'Type' "

my code :

enum Days {Sat=1, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri};

private Days pJour;

public Days Jour{
get{
return pJour;
}
set{
pJour = value;
}


Have U got an idea ??


Tx

OK, I know that but I hopefully would use the getter & setter.
So, I know for the enum call "Days" (mine is not really the Days... lol)

If someone knows why it doesn't work ??

thx

Kevin,

Yes, if you are defining this in a class, then by default, the
enumeration should be private. Try this declaration:

public enum Days {Sat=1, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri};

It should work then.

Also, you know there is an enumeration titled Day in the
System.Windows.Forms namespace, right?

Hope this helps.

You know what? Classic example of how top-posting loses context...

but I hopefully would use the getter & setter.

For what?

It doesn't work for exactly the reason that the compiler gave - your
enum is private, but your property is public. No caller outside your
class would be able to understand the return value. You need to either
make the enum public, or the property private (or both internal, etc).
