static event generates CS0052

[Guest]

What is the right way to declare a static event handler?

I have a:

delegate void TestEvent(string ID, ref string payload);

namespace TestNS
{
public class TestFrm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public static event TestEvent newEvent;
....

And this last line gives me compiler error CS0052: "Inconsistent
accessibility...."

I am trying to setup this class so I can add event handlers from other
(external) classes without reference to an instance of TestFrm.

Unfortunately, the MSDN explanation and additonal help at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ml/vclrfRemarksOnUsingAccessibilityLevels.asp were not at all illuminating....

You need to say

public delegate void TestEvent(string ID, ref string payload);

at the moment your delegate is "internal", which is inconsistent with
the declaration of the "public" event in TestFrm.

Hi,

Thank you for posting.
You should state delegate TestEvent as public just as the following.
public delegate void TestEvent(string ID,ref string payload);
That will be ok.
