VBC09304 — Invalid use of object

Severity: Error · Family: VBC (static semantics / abstract syntax tree) · Source metadata: VBCompileErrorInfo

An object is used where a value of another kind is required.

MS-VBA reports the same error: Invalid use of object.

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
The `Nothing` literal is where a value is expected: assigned to a variable of a value type, an operand, an argument of a parameter of a value type or of a function that reads a value (RD-VBAL §5.5.1.1).	`n = Nothing`, `If x = Nothing Then`, `CStr(Nothing)`	`Nothing` has no value: to clear an object variable, `Set` it to `Nothing`; to test one, use `Is Nothing`.
A conditional-compilation expression is an object.	`#If Nothing Then`	A condition is a number or a `Boolean`.
