Hello,

I'm building a POC architecture framework, in which I have my business objects (BOs) made of internal classes and my transfer objects (TOs) made of public classes.
what I'd like to do is have a constructor for each TO and use the BO as a parameter, so to build the TO using the BO
what I coded is this:

public class ClientTO {
  public string name;

  public ClientTO(ClientBO client) {
    this.name = client.name;
  }
}

The problem is that ClientBO is internal and ClientTO is public, so it gives a compilation error "inconsistent accessibility: parameter type ClientBO is less accessible than method ClientTO(ClientBO)"

any ideas? I don't to make my BOs public so to force programmers to use TOs

thanks in advance,
mariano

You would have to use in your constructor:

public ClientTO( String name )
{
   this.name = name;
}

Because you current constructor has reference to ClientBO. If ClientBO will be internal class your programmers never see it.
