Inconsistent accessibility: field type 'world' is less accessible than field 'frmSplashScreen

c# field restriction

Solution 1

Generally this happens because your field is private. You must change it to public:

public world currentWorld;

For more on this, take a look here: Restrictions on Using Accessibility Levels (C# Reference)

Solution 2

This can also happen when you have not initialized your class "world" as public

you should do :

public class world

Instead of :

class world

I have this error called Inconsistent accessibility:

field type 'world' is less accessible than field 'frmSplashScreen'

In my code there is a public partial class called frmSplashScreen

There is also a public class called world

The line that caused the error was:
```
private world currentWorld; 
```
The above line is in the class frmSplashScreen

What is causing the problem?

  Can you show more of the actual code? Judging from the error message the frmSplashScreen class is not actually public, or not actually a class...

... you removed your comment, but you got a different error. It's like the first error. You must change time2Craft to public.

Well looks like you have inconsistency throughout your classes' definitions. To help you more I need to see the code and the error messages.

While this would probably remove the error message, it's more of a hotfix than a real solution - the other answer resolves the main issue. But I understand OP didn't really describe his full situation clearly.

Take into account that any class is "internal" by default in C#. That is the reason you need to specify "public". Great answer, by the way.

This resolved my issue, I was busy staring at the fields that I was returning from the method, not taking into cognizance the class that was being returned.

in my case it was the opposite: i had to change from public into private ftw
