'=' expected (Let or Set assignment)

A Let or Set assignment statement does not include an equal sign (=).

The Let and Set assignment statements are not supported in the current version of Visual Basic. The compiler can determine the type of assignment from the data type of the programming element that is to receive the value. A value type assignment replaces the Let statement, and a reference type assignment replaces the former Set statement.

The Set Statement is used in property definitions and has no relation to the Set assignment statement.
