Weird "Inconsistent Accessibility" problem

realJSOP

I have two classes (of my own creation) that I instantiate in my app.

public partial class MyForm
{
MyObject1 m_myObject1;
MyObject2 m_myObject2;
}

I have another class (ThreadData) that contains objects of those two classes as well (and I use the same names for the variables in this class as I do in the app).

public class ThreadData
{
MyObject1 m_myObject1;
MyObject2 m_myObject2;
}

In a function, I create an instance of ThreadData, and use clones of the app's objects to set the objects in ThreadData. When I try to compile, I get this message:

error CS0052: Inconsistent accessibility: field type 'MyForm.MyObject1' is less accessible than field 'MyForm.ThreadData.m_myObject1'

Even if I don't use Clone(), it still gives me the same errors. Why?

What's the accessibility on your MyObject1 type? m_myObject1 is public, so basically MyObject1 has to be the same.

It basically means that m_myObject1 is accessible, but its type, MyObject1, is not. Something like

internal class B
{

}

public class A
{
public B b;
}

In the example above, A.b is public, but the class B is not.

Here's a better example of what I'm doing.

public class MyObject1 {}

public class MyObject2 {}

public class MyData
{
public MyObject1 myObj1;
public MyObject2 myObj2;

public SetData(MyObject1 ojb1, MyObject2 obj2)
{
    myObj1 = obj1;
    myObj2 = obj2;
}

}

public partial class MyForm
{
private MyObject1 myObj1;
private MyObject2 myObj2;

private void MyFunction()
{
    MyData data = new MyData();
    data.SetData(myObj1, myObj2);
}

}

That should be perfectly okay.

That compiles for me. Is that the exact code?
