TwinBasic

My apologies, I should have chosen my works more carefully. That is what I meant, the program crashes with an exception.

With regards to this issue. I was under the impression that this would qualified as syntax error and not a runtime error which I why I found that exception odd. If not using Set was a violation, I was expecting the compiler to prohibit compilation of the code.



This is good to hear.



I'll see if I can find my GitHub credentials some time soon. I have them in a file somewhere. Been a while since I logged into GitHub.

Ah OK, the runtime error is what is expected here; same as VB6. Without the 'Set', it gets default-member property-put semantics (through IDispatch with DISPID_VALUE). With IDispatch being late-bound, this is a runtime-error instead of a compile-error.

However, twinBASIC could be smarter than VB6 here, as it knows for sure that there's no default members defined on these internally defined classes, and so could throw a compile-error.
