Compiler Error CS0272

The property or indexer 'property/indexer' cannot be used in this context because the set accessor is inaccessible.

This error occurs when the set accessor is not accessible to the program code.

To correct this error

Increase the accessibility of the accessor, or change the calling location. For more information, see Restricting Accessor Accessibility.

Example

The following example generates CS0272:

// CS0272.cs  
public class MyClass  
{  
    public int Property  
    {  
        get { return 0; }  
        private set { }  
    }  
}  
  
public class Test  
{  
    static void Main()  
    {  
        MyClass c = new MyClass();  
        c.Property = 10;      // CS0272  
        // To resolve, remove the previous line
        // or use an appropriate modifier on the set accessor.  
    }  
}
