Error 1 Inconsistent accessibility: return type is less accessible than method

Question

When I\'m building, VS show error. This is my code:

public Composite buildComposite(ComboBox subs, ComboBox bas)
{
    int count = 0;
    Composite a = new C         


        

Answer 1

Your Composite class is not public. You can't return a non-public type from a public method.

If you don't specify an accessibility for a non-nested class then internal is used by default. Add public to your Composite class definition:

public class Composite
{
    ...

Alternatively, if buildComposite doesn't need to be public (meaning it's only used internally by the form), then you could make the method private as well:

private Composite buildComposite(ComboBox subs, ComboBox bas)
{
    ....
