For code such as:

Public Property Title As String
Public Property ShortName As String

Instead of compiling, the compiler fatal errors with:

Error VBNC90019: Expected 'End'. (VBNC90019) (libDashboard)
Error VBNC30205: End of statement expected. (VBNC30205) (libDashboard)
Error VBNC30124: Property without a 'ReadOnly' or 'WriteOnly' specifier must provide both a 'Get' and a 'Set'. (VBNC30124) (libDashboard)

The workaround is to change the declarations from:

Public Property RegionId As Integer

into:

Public Property RegionId() As Integer
Get
Return _RegionId
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
_RegionId = value
End Set
End Property
