When compile with Revit 2022 : Error CS0122 'DisplayUnitType' is inaccessible due to its protection level

Have you a solution ?

Hi,

I am looking for the type of unit from a character string.

value1 = string (example : "DUT_METERS", "DUT_SQUARE_METERS", "DUT_WATTS_PER_SQUARE_METER_KELVIN")

my code :

DisplayUnitType RevitMKS = DisplayUnitType.DUT_GENERAL;
if (value1 != "")
{

    foreach (DisplayUnitType P in Enum.GetValues(typeof(DisplayUnitType)))
    {
        if (P.ToString() == value1)
        {
            RevitMKS = P;
            break;
        }
    }
}

how to do the equivalent?

The method ListForgeTypeIds in The Building Coder samples Util.cs module probably does that for you:
