Sometimes, I think all compiler errors should be replaced with
"Something went wrong."  No one ever seems to *read* them.  :|

You were trying to access a 'Name' property for an object of type
'Form'.  But 'Form's do not have a 'Name' property.  Objects of type
'MyForm' do, but you've explicitly told the compiler that 'd' is of type
'Form' not 'MyForm'.
