Inconsistent Accessibility on field types in C#

I'm trying to make a few simple classes for my program and I'm being stumped by the inconsistent accessibility on field types error for my Tile[,] class 'theGrid' object. I've had a look at a few of the other solutions and set everything to public as I can see but I'm still stuck as to what to do with this.

Could you tell me how to fix this?

public class Level
{
    public Tile[,] theGrid;
    public Tile[,] TheGrid
    {
        get { return theGrid; }
        set { theGrid = value;}
    }

    public static Tile[,] BuildGrid(int sizeX, int sizeY)
    {
        Tile earth = new Tile("Earth", "Bare Earth. Easily traversable.", ' ', true);
        //this.createTerrain();

        for (int y = 0; y < sizeY; y++)
        {
            for (int x = 0; x < sizeX; x++)
            {
                theGrid[x, y] = earth;
            }
        }
        return theGrid;
    }

And here's a shortened version of the tile class:

public class Tile
{
    //all properties were set to public

    public Tile()
    {
        mineable = false;
        symbol = ' ';
        traversable = true;
        resources = new List<Resource>();
        customRules = new List<Rule>();
        name = "default tile";
        description = "A blank tile";
        area = "";
    }

    public Tile(string tName, string tDescription, char tSymbol, bool tTraversable)
    {
        resources = new List<Resource>();
        customRules = new List<Rule>();
        area = "";
        symbol = tSymbol;
        this.traversable = tTraversable;
        this.name = tName;
        this.description = tDescription;

        mineable = false;
    }

    public void setArea(string area)
    {
        this.area = area;
    }
}

I'd appreciate any help you could give me with this one.

The exact error message indicates that the accessibility of Tile is less than public.
But in you listing of Tile it is public.

Possible causes

  • one of the other types, Resource or Rule is declared internal (ie without public)
  • you have another Tile class
  • the posted code for public class Tile is incorrect.
  • the error message is quoted incorrectly

Static methods can only access static members.

You need to create new array of tiles

 public static Tile[,] BuildGrid(int sizeX, int sizeY)         
 {              
      Tile[,] theGrid = new Tile[sizeX, sizeY];

      .... the rest of the code is the same
 }
