Roslyn: What Button1.TextAlign property assignment will compile in VB.NET for WinForms?

[jerrywa0h]

Scenario:
You are working on a Visual Basic .NET Framework 4.8 application (Hello) and using Roslyn to compile dynamic source code into a standalone executable (Hello.exe) for Windows.

Problem:
When compiling controls property assignment statements with Roslyn, some lines compile successfully, while others do not. For example:

• Button1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue (COMPILES)
• Button1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight (DOES NOT COMPILE)

Question:
What is the correct Visual Basic statement for setting Button1.TextAlign so that Roslyn will compile it successfully?

Details:

• The problematic line fails during Roslyn compilation.
• ContentAlignment is referenced directly, as in the designer code, but does not compile dynamically.
• Please clarify what statement or reference will work for setting the TextAlign property during runtime when compiling with Roslyn.

Context:

• The goal is to dynamically compile source code for a Windows Forms application using Roslyn.
• Some property assignments (BackColor, etc.) work; others (TextAlign) do not.

Request:

• Provide the correct syntax or approach to assign Button1.TextAlign in code that Roslyn will compile successfully.
• If there are references or import statements required, please specify.
• Any alternate solutions or workarounds are appreciated.

@jerrywa0h Are you importing the System.Drawing namespace? If not, you should fully qualify the enum value as System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleRight.
