Method or data member not found

Error Message

Running ArcObjects code returns the following error:"Method or data member not found."

Cause

The Set keyword is used incorrectly. Set is required to assign a property by reference and to create new objects. Set is not required when setting a property by value.

Solution or Workaround

• Use Set to assign a property by reference.
  
  

  Code:
  Set pPageLayout = pMxDoc.PageLayout

  
  
  
• Set is not necessary when a property is assigned by value.
  
  

  Code:
  pMap.MapUnits = esriFeet
  

  
  
  
• Set is required when creating new objects.
  
  

  Code:
  Dim pFeature as IFeature
  Set pFeature = New Feature
  

  
  

  Note:
  For more information on Set see the book 'Exploring ArcObjects'.
