Inconsistent accessibility C#

[coffeeMan21]

I am getting an error, Inconsistent accessibility: return type " " is less accessible than " ".

Not sure what is going on, I would appreciate some help

public List<point2d> get_myList(ReturnData3 rd)
        {
            
            List<point2d> points = new List<point2d>();

            List<double> y = rd.Y3;

            int h = rd.CounT;

            for (int i = 0; i < h; i++)
            {
                points.Add(new point2d(x[i], y[i]));                
            }
            return points;

Is the class this is in public?

Hi coffeeMan21,

How is "point2d" declared? Is it public or internal?

You are getting the error because you are making a public method, but the type that it returns is most likely not public. Example:

public class Honda
{
    // This accessory is private and only for use by the Honda class
    private struct HondaAccessory
    {
       ...
    }

    ...
    // But this method is public. Others can't see the return type
    // If other classes can't see HondaAccessory, how can they call this method?
    public HondaAccessory GetAccessory() { ... }

}

But that's just a guess -- make sure your point2d definition is public or make your methods as restrictive or more restrictive than your point2d definition.

Hope this helps,
