Getting error in object assignment

Question

Getting the property or indexer cannot be used in this context because the set accessor is inaccessible this error while assigning value to the object variable. How to resolve this error?

Ramesh Palaniappan · Answer

The error message indicates that the property IDis declared like this: public string ID { get; protected set; } This means that the value of IDcan be read by anyone but it can only be set from inside instances of DomainObjectand derived classes. Using SetAssignedIdToisn't an option either because it requires 5 characters the ID you want to assign is only two characters long. I assume this method exists to be able to manually assign IDs to rows in a table that normally has an auto-incrementing key. Forcing 5 characters for this ID makes sure - to a certain degree - that the manually assigned keys won't conflict with the automatic created ones.
