I bug in the for each loop statement?

[Stephen R. G. Fraser]

Is this a bug in the for each loop or am I coding something wrong (or is this
how its suppose to function and I don't understand how an array property and
the for each interact [this is always a possibility :)]

The commented out code is the problem area as it generates the error:
->for each statement cannot operate on variables of type 'overloaded-function'

using namespace System;

ref class ArrayProp
{
public:
ArrayProp(int size)
{
numArray = gcnew array<int>(size);
}

property array<int>^ NumArray
{
array<int>^ get()
{
return numArray;
}

void set ( array<int>^ value )
{
numArray = value;
}
}
private:
array<int>^ numArray;
};

void main()
{
ArrayProp aprop(5);

for ( int i = 0 ; i < aprop.NumArray->Count ; ++i )
aprop.NumArray[i] = i;

for ( int i = 0 ; i < aprop.NumArray->Count ; ++i )
Console::WriteLine(aprop.NumArray[i]);

// for each (int i in aprop.NumArray)
// {
// Console::WriteLine(i);
// }
}

Hello Stephen,

there are more appropiate groups on privatenews.microsoft.com for the VS
8 Beta.

Is this a bug in the for each loop or am I coding something wrong (or is this
how its suppose to function and I don't understand how an array property and
the for each interact [this is always a possibility :)] [...] // for each (int i in aprop.NumArray)
// {
// Console::WriteLine(i);
// }
}

this looks (didn't actually test it) like the bug described here
http://blogs.msdn.com/arich/. So it's a compiler bug, nothing you're
doing wrong.

Workaround is to explicitly call the property accessor.
