Delphi - E2020 Object or class type required

Delphi – E2020 Object or class type required

When the syntax ‘Typename.Methodname’ is used, but the typename does not belong to an object or class type, this error message is displayed.

program Produce;
type
  TInteger = class
    Value: Integer;
  end;
var
  V: TInteger;
begin
  V := Integer.Create;
end.

TInteger has a Create method that Type Integer does not.

program Solve;
type
  TInteger = class
    Value: Integer;
  end;
var
  V: TInteger;
begin
  V := TInteger.Create;
end.

Make that the identification refers to an object or class type; it could be misspelt or obscured by another unit’s identity.
