Because the code has never initialized the indicated name, Code Analyzer treats it as a function call. However, because this call occurs within a class method and there is a property with the same name as the apparent function being called, it is unclear whether you intended to refer to the property rather than to a function of the same name. Even if the code is correct it might confuse others who read the code.

For information about using properties in methods, see “Properties — Storing Class Data”.

If you want to refer to a property of an object, find the appropriate object (often the first input argument of the method) and place the object name and a dot before the property name.

If you want to call a function that has the same name as a property in the class, consider renaming the property to avoid confusing someone unfamiliar with the code.

If you want to keep the current name, suppress the message as described in Adjust Code Analyzer Message Indicators and Messages.
