asp.net mvc - 'BusinessLayer.EmployeeBusinessLayer' is inaccessible due to its protection level -

in classliberary named (businesslayer)

i have made class employee.cs--->

public class employee     {         public int employeeid { get; set; }         public string employeename { get; set; }         public string employeecity { get; set; }         public string employeegender { get; set; }         public int departmentid { get; set; }     } 

then added class employeebusinesslayer.cs

class employeebusinesslayer     {         public ienumerable<employee> employees         {                         {                 string connectionstring = configurationmanager.connectionstrings["dbcs"].connectionstring;                  list<employee> employees = new list<employee>();                 using (sqlconnection con = new sqlconnection(connectionstring))                 {                     sqlcommand cmd = new sqlcommand("sqlgetallemployees", con);                     cmd.commandtype = commandtype.storedprocedure;                     con.open();                     sqldatareader rdr = cmd.executereader();                     while (rdr.read())                     {                         employee employee = new employee();                         employee.departmentid = convert.toint16(rdr["departmentid"]);                         employee.employeeid = convert.toint16(rdr["employeeid"]);                         employee.employeename = rdr["employeename"].tostring();                         employee.employeecity = rdr["employeecity"].tostring();                         employee.employeegender = rdr["employeegender"].tostring();                         employees.add(employee);                      }                 }                 return employees;             }           }     }  

and when using in project after adding reference showing "businesslayer.employeebusinesslayer' inaccessible due protection level"

 public class employeescontroller : controller         {              public actionresult index()             {    employeebusinesslayer employeebusinesslayer = new employeebusinesslayer();               list<employee> employees =  employeebusinesslayer.employees;                 return view(employees);             }          } 

you need make employeebusinesslayer accessible controller class.

you can example make public:

public class employeebusinesslayer {  ...
