Compiler Error CS0117

'type' does not contain a definition for 'identifier'

  • This error occurs in some situations when a reference is made to a member that does not exist for the data type.

Example

The following sample generates CS0117:

// CS0117.cs
public class BaseClass { }

    public class base021 : BaseClass
    {
        public void TestInt()
        {
            int i = base.someMember; //CS0117
        }
        public static int Main()
        {
            return 1;
        }
    }
