inaccessible due to protection level

[Jassim Rahma]

I tried the following:

class MonthRec
{
string month_text;
string month_value;
}

private void run_code()
{
List MonthList = new List();
MonthList.Add(new MonthRec(){month_text = "January 2009", month_value = "012009"});
}

but getting month_text inaccessible due to protection level same error for month_value

By default if you don't specify an access modifier the scope of fields in a class default to private. Make both month_text and month_value public and you will be able to access them.

better yet, provide a constructor that accepts initial values and stores them. :)

i did declare as public but now I am getting three columns! 1. Column with value myappname.myformname+MonthRec 2. month_value with no value 3. month_text with no value

you should not make public what does not need to be public; my suggestion was and is keep the data members private (or protected) and provide a means to set them, either through properties or through a new constructor that takes initial values. :)
