JS1171: Cannot change visibility specification of a base method

A method in a derived class overrides a base-class method, and the visibility modifiers of the two methods are different. This is not allowed because the visibility of a base-class member cannot be changed.

To correct this error

  • Change the visibility modifier of the derived-class method to match the visibility of the base class method.
