I don't know whether it's a typo, but the BLL code should read: public class BLL { public BLL() { DAL mydal = new DAL(); SqlConnection conn = mydal.MyConnection(); } }

I like the term 'software detective', Sam ;) It's a good analogy for what we often have to do on here! Hopefully, this one's not going to turn out to be a 'three pipe problem' ;)

If you are using a project created in VS 2010 in VS 2008 then the problem might be totally different from anything mentioned here. You say " it doesn't complie " and that means to me that there is much more to be told than you have told. In a crime show on television a detective might say that a witness knows more than they are saying. As a software detective I say you know more than you are telling us.

this is the code for the DAL class: public DAL() { public SqlConnection MyConnection() { SqlConnection connection =new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LoginConnection"].ToString()); try { connection.Open(); } catch(Exception ex) { ex.Message.ToString(); } return connection; } } and this is the code for the BLL: public class BLL { public BLL() { DAL mydal = new DAL(); mydal. } } this code was ok on VS 2010 and only the functions wouldn't appear but when i tried it on VSTS 2008 it doesn't complie the .cs files at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

In that case, you'll need to post some code so we can try and figure out what the problem is.

all the methods and classes are public

Vulpes · Answer

Have you declared the methods to be either public or internal?
