' Generates an error.
Dim var = "sample text".<child>

Error ID: BC36807

To correct this error

  • Ensure that the object of which you are referencing an attribute is strongly typed as XElement, XDocument, or IEnumerable(Of XElement). Following is an example:

    Dim elem As XElement = <root>
                         <child />
                       </root>
Dim var = elem.<child>
