How do I get around Inconsistant accessibilty error in C # ?
I need to pass a pointer to a node in a linked list to a method.
When I do, I get a "Compiler Error CS0051"
Example
The following sample generates CS0051:
Copy Code
// CS0051.cs
public class A
{
// Try making B public since F is public
// B is implicitly private here
class B
{
}
public static void F(B b) // CS0051
{
}
public static void Main()
{
}
}

That is a simple example. The actual program is a bit more complicated. I am actually using a node in a linked list to pass to the method
LinkedListNode<LevelNode> node
The method uses recursion because the node is mart of a huge linked list structure of linked lists that outputs an xml file.
Either I have to find a way to use recursion without using methods or I need to find a way to pass pointers nodes or actual nodes.

It should be fairly obvious in your example that class B is private, so only the class A can see it - yet class A tries to expose the method F which uses this private class which no-one else would be able to call.

Obviously making B public fixes the problem - is there some reason why this doesn't work in your code?

Otherwise I think you are going to have to give us an example that is closer to your real code.

Think before you post: What have you tried?

To put it another way, method F is unusable outside of A as it requires an instance of B which cannot be created externally. If F were made private or B were made public then you'd be fine.
