Question

The type for variable ‘cri’ will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of ‘cri’, of use the fully qualified name (for example, ‘Me.cri’ or ‘MyBase.cri’)

I have created a class file with name Predefined which consists of this methods like cricket,BasketBall from this methos im returning List of string type

im calling that class in button click event like the object of class is pre
now im calling a method called pre.Cricket();
so when i execute the program with warnings it is raising this error:

'Cricket' is not a member of 'predefined'.

this is the code where it is showing error in line 2:

Dim cric As New List(Of String)()
cric = pre.Cricket()
For cri As Integer = 0 To cric.Count - 1

(from above)

A loop control variable in your code
has the same name as a field of the
class or other enclosing scope.
Because the control variable is used
without an As clause, it is bound to
the field in the enclosing scope, and
the compiler does not create a new
variable for it or infer its type.

In the following example, Index, the
control variable in the For statement,
is bound to the Index field in the
Customer class. The compiler does not
create a new variable for the control
variable Index or infer its type.

Class Customer

    ' The class has a field named Index.
    Private Index As Integer

    Sub Main()

    ' The following line will raise this warning.
        For Index = 1 To 10
            ' ...
        Next

    End Sub
End Class
