'Parameters' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context

.NET 5, ASP.NET Core MVC

I was defined a namespace with a type:

namespace Company.Services
{
    public class APIService
    {
        // Some code here.
    }
}

Then I defined other 2 classes in the APIService:

namespace Company.Services
{
    public class APIService
    {
        // Some code here.
        public class APIObject{}
        public class Parameters{}
    }
}

Then I defined a method and try to instantiate these 2 classes:

namespace Company.Services
{
    public class APIService
    {
        // Some code here.
        public class APIObject{}
        public class Parameters{}
        public static APIObject[] Initialize(string strAPIS)
        {
            APIObject[] objs;
            Parameters params; // Threw error here.
        }
    }
}

Then the complier threw an error: 'Parameters' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context, but the APIObject had no error.

I don't know what happened.

params is a C# keyword, and as such can't be used as a variable name.

You should either call your variable @params, or perhaps give it a different name altogether (maybe parameters)?
