cannot access property within the same class

Question

I'm having trouble understanding why a part of my code can't resolve another part.

I have this class that contains two properties. The second property relies on the first, but it keeps throwing this error:

cannot resolve symbol 'yearlyEmployees'

public class Financials
{

    public static IEnumerable<SalaryEntity> yearlyEmployees = FactoryManagement(12345);


    //cannot resolve symbol 'yearlyEmployees'
    public static IEnumerable<CompanyEntity> YearlyGroup(IList<yearlyEmployees> allExempt)
    {

    }

}

I'm sure there's an easy answer, but I just can't find it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

yearlyEmployees is a variable name, not a class name. Try:

public static IEnumerable<CompanyEntity> YearlyGroup(IList<SalaryEntity> allExempt)

Answer 2

That is because you don't have a type of yearlyEmplyee - that is your variable.

Instead:

public static IEnumerable<CompanyEntity> YearlyGroup(IList<SalaryEntity> allExempt)
{ }

And then just pass a collection of SalaryEntity to the function. If you always want to process only yearlyEmployees (which I don't think is the case but not sure) then just call it from within the method `Financials.yearlyEmployees'.

Answer 3

您必须将SalaryEntity类型用作列表项。

public static IEnumerable<CompanyEntity> YearlyGroup(IList<SalaryEntity> allExempt) {}
