Interfaces cannot contain fields

probably a really dumb question, but I keep getting the above error with the following code:

public interface IAttributeOption
{
    AttributeTypeCode Type { get; set; }
}

You can probably tell, I'm trying to define an interface with a single property.

I know that somebody is BOUND to tell me "an interface is a virtual class, blah blah" and I want to confirm in advance I KNOW THIS! I'm clearly trying to define a property, which as far as I am aware is fine in an interface.

So what is wrong??

Thanks :)

Nothing, your interface declaration is fine. Sounds like you possibly forgot to put your accessor declarations in previously:

public interface IAttributeOption
{
    AttributeType Type; // no { get; set; }
}

If it's a linked assembly you may need to do a full rebuild as you may be pulling in a cached version.

There's nothing wrong with this code. The error you are getting is somewhere else. Just make sure that the AttributeTypeCode class is defined of course.
