Public summary
Users could define an instance property on their App class but could not read or write that property from elsewhere in the project using App.PropertyName. For example, a desktop app with Property X As Integer on App should allow code in Window1 to use App.X, because App is the global application object.
Expected behaviour: after application startup, public instance properties and methods on the live App instance are accessible through App.MemberName from project code.
Actual behaviour: App.MemberName was treated only as class/shared-member access, so instance members on App were not available through the global App name.
