I have picked up a project from someone else and cannot get it to compile.

The solution is a web application containing two class libraries. When compiling, I am getting an error which reads 'fulfilmentDAL.FulfilmentSchemaDataSetTableAdapter s.FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter.Connection' is inaccessible due to its protection level and have tried to search on Google for an answer - found nothing of any real use.

The error points to the following code, with the error on the "Connection" for the second line.

FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter VersionsAdapter = new FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter();
VersionsAdapter.Connection = new System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection(connectionString);

By right-clicking on the FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter and going to the definition, we get

[global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Data.Design.TypedDataSetGenerator", "2.0.0.0")]
[global::System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[global::System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(true)]
[global::System.ComponentModel.DataObjectAttribute(true)]
[global::System.ComponentModel.DesignerAttribute("Microsoft.VSDesigner.DataSource.Design.TableAdapt erDesigner, Microsoft.VSDesigner" +
", Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")]
[global::System.ComponentModel.Design.HelpKeywordAttribute("vs.data.TableAdapter")]
public partial class FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter : global::System.ComponentModel.Component {

private global::System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataAdapter _adapter;

private global::System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection _connection;

private global::System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand[] _commandCollection;

private bool _clearBeforeFill;

[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
public FULFILMENT_VERSIONSTableAdapter() {
this.ClearBeforeFill = true;
}
...snip...

I can't see anything that appears to be particularly wrong with the code that I am seeing and hope that someone is able to offer some guidance on this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like the Connection property is not public, can you show the code for that?
(Worst naming convention ever...)

Spot on, thanks!

Changed all of the instances of the connectiont to be "public" and it's resolved the issue (thank you to MS for a clear error message). Naming conventions ... hmmm ... the wonders of inheriting someone else's project, I guess.
