The CS0050 compiler error documentation was missing an important case where the error can occur. The issue reported that CS0050 can also be caused when a generic type's type argument has lower accessibility than the method itself.
For example, this code generates CS0050:
The error occurs because
CeisData
is internal but the methodBuildCeis()
is public, making the type argument less accessible than the method.This PR adds:
The documentation now comprehensively covers both the original case (direct return type accessibility) and this additional case involving generic type arguments.
Fixes #31062.
