i got this error "inaccessible due to protection level" and do not know what it is...i have tried everything for 3 days from changing private to public to rewrote all the code but it gives same error...i just copied all some code from my books what i do not understand is my program has one error....my classmates do not know what the problem is here is the error from : Code: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; using WindowsApplication2; namespace WindowsApplication2 { public partial class SavingClass : Form1 { private StreamWriter fileWriter; // writes datea to text file private FileStream output; // maintains connection to file //pramaterless constructor public SavingClass() { [U][I][B]InitializeComponent(); [/B][/I][/U] // <-------this line code has blue underline and shows the "inaccessible due to protection level" error message }//end constructor ...... this code is from my third class below is the full code of my program (Class form1) Code: using System;

Your Form1 is derived from Form and so the methods from Form are being derived as private and you need to change that,
