I am trying to build a WebPart using C# that passes the selected value from one WebPart to another WebPart. To do this I am using a Public interface to get the values.
When I try to compile the code it returns the following error...
"A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods"
Not sure how to expose the interface to the other calling provider/consumer classes without using this. Suggestions?
See each of the classes below for more information...
