Inconsistent accessibility error C#

I'm getting an error with a property for a list. It's saying the list is less accessible than the property.. I'm not sure why I am getting this error..

//List
private List<Client> clientList = new List<Client>();

//Property
public List<Client> ClientListAccessor
{
    get 
    { 
        return clientList; 
    }
    set 
    { 
        clientList = value; 
    }
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

Most probably Client is not a public class, and ClientListAccessor is publically accessible. The caller will have access to the property but wouldn't know the type it returns.

That's happening, because the class Client is not defined as a public class. Make sure, the class definition looks like this:

public class Client
{
    // ...
}

In your code it probably looks like this:

class Client
{
    // ...
}

or like this (which is the same):

internal class Client
{
    // ...
}
