Why is F# member not found when used in subclass

I have a base type that I want to inherit from, for all my DAO objects, but this member gets the error further down about not being defined:

type BaseDAO() =
    member v.ExecNonQuery2(conn)(sqlStr) =
        let comm = new MySqlCommand(sqlStr, conn, CommandTimeout = 10)
        comm.ExecuteNonQuery |> ignore
        comm.Dispose |> ignore

I inherit in this t开发者_开发问答ype:

type CreateDatabase() =
    inherit BaseDAO() 

    member private self.createDatabase(conn) =
        self.ExecNonQuery2 conn "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS restaurant"

This is what I see when my script runs in the interactive shell:

I am curious what I am doing wrong.

I have tried not inheriting, and just instantiating the BaseDAO type in the function, but I get the same error.

I started on this path because I had a property that had the same error, so it seems there may be a problem with how I am defining my BaseDAO type, but it compiles with no error, which further confuses me about this problem.

It looks like maybe you are #loading individual files, and maybe you have a bit of stuff in your history, and the class you're inheriting is in another namespace/module and you're inheriting some older version without that member?

Reset your fsi session and start over, or put it in .fs files to diagnose if anything is really wrong, but I think the code is ok and the issue is something with how you're interacting with FSI.
