Anonymous type member name must be preceded by a period

  • Article

In the object initializer list for an anonymous type declaration, a new member name to which a value is assigned must be preceded by a period. The following example shows a valid and an invalid declaration:

' Valid.
Dim instanceName1 = New With {.memberName = 10}
' Invalid declaration that causes this error.
' Dim instanceName2 = New With {memberName = 10}

Error ID: BC36575

To correct this error

  • Add a period before the member name.
