So I have two different source files:
file1.cs:
namespace namespace1 {
public partial class Class1 {
public partial class NestedClass {
public int myInt{ get; set; }
}
}
}
file2.cs:
namespace namespace1.Class1 {
public partial class NestedClass {
void doSomething() {
Console.WriteLine(this.myInt); // class does not contain definition for myInt
}
}
}
The Problem:
I am trying to access a member variable declared in the first partial class in the second. No variables I declare can be viewed from the other file.
My Attempts at a Solution:
I found this post, but it did not seem to fix my issue. I declared several test variables in each of the partial class files and nothing was visible to the other file. I tried both public and private variables, with and without setters, since the problem in that situation involved a missing setter. I thought maybe my classes were named incorrectly, so I triple checked my namespaces as well as class names and that they were both declared partial. Finaly, I have tried restarting Visual Studio as well, to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The problem is that in your first file, you have a namespace:
namespace namespace1 {
whereas in the second it is:
namespace namespace1.Class1 {Since the namespaces are different, C# considers the classes to be different as well: they happen to have the same name, but since these are declared in separate namespaces, C# considers them to be different.
In the case you work with partial nested classes, you should write it like:
file1.cs:
namespace namespace1 {
public partial class Class1 {
public partial class NestedClass {
public int myInt{ get; set; }
}
}
}file2.cs:
using System;
namespace namespace1 {
public partial class Class1 {
public partial class NestedClass {
void doSomething() {
Console.WriteLine(this.myInt); // class does not contain definition for myInt
}
}
}
}So you do not specify the outer class as a namespace, but you declare the outer class twice.
