[RESOLVED][2.0] Problem passing List<T>

[Bombdrop]

HI all I have a Method that I wish to pass a generic List as a parameter,

    public void Test (List<Client> temp)
        {
            this.ClaimBindingSource.DataSource = temp;
        }

The idea is then to bind it for a data report.

But upon trying to compile i get the following error

Error 1 Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Indemnity_System.Client>' is less accessible than method 'Indemnity_System.ReportView.Test(System.Collections.Generic.List<Indemnity_System.Client>)'

If I use an ArrayList I do not get this problem any help would be great.

Is Client public?

Yes Client is a public class.

How is the Client class or structure declared? I'm guessing that it has lower accessibility than public, right? If so then that's your problem: you're exposing a type that is not public through a method that is. The ArrayList doesn't give you the issue because ti has no specific connection to the Client type.

And after typing that I decidied to read dee-u's post and I see that I'm a bit late with the advice.

Yes Client is a public class.

Or maybe I spoke too soon. Are you absolutely sure that it's public because that's the exact error message I get if I declare an internal Client class and then use the exact method declaration that you did?

SOrry guys it's always the stupid things that trip you up I had not declared my class as public Sorry but thanks for the helps
