VB.NET vs C#: Anonymous types and intellisense

How come when do this in C#...

var x = new { Name = "aaa" };

...I can get intellisense on .Name, but when I do this in VB.NET...

Dim x = New With {.Name = "aaa"}

...I get no intellisene on .Name?

This sounds a momentary situation to me. Because when I try,

Dim x = New With {.Name = "aaa"}

It shows

Consider also Option Infer Statement

Enables the use of local type inference in declaring variables.

Answering my own question here. In VB.NET, you have to use the module level option infer on.

I was going to just delete this question after I figured out the problem, but 1) I can't because this question already has an answer and 2) I am sure this will be helpful to others anyway.

Happy inferring.
