Inconsistent accessibility...property type ... is less accessible than property ...

[mp]

dont understand this
I can't specify public or private in an interface
so I don't understand why i get this error:

interface IBuilding
{...
List<IBuildingComponent > Components { get; set; }
}
public class Building : IBuilding
{...
public List<IBuildingComponent> Components { get; set; }
//Inconsistent accessibility:prop type 'List<IBuildingComponent>' is
less accessible than property 'Building.Components'
}

if i try adding public to the interface i get 'modifier not valid'

figured it out, the whole interface has to be marked public not the
individual members
public interface IBuilding{...}

You must have done this...
interface IBuilding
{
...
public List<IBuildingComponent > Components { get; set; }
}
instead of this ...
public interface IBuilding
{
...
List<IBuildingComponent > Components { get; set; }
}

It is really a little quirk in C#.

All interface members are public.

And it is not even valid to explicit specify public.

Your only control is the accessibility if the interface
itself.
