Based on the assosciated Imports and the languages, the required for enumerators are different.

 

In vba you can get away with just the enum, but in vb.net you need to put in the Enum Type. 

 

The safest way across all languages is to just extract what the integer is and to use that instead.

 

This is not a bug/ this behavior is well known.

 

Try using the code below.

 

Sub Main()
   Dim oDoc As Document
   oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
   Dim oCompDef As ComponentDefinition
   oCompDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
   oCompDef.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kPurchasedBOMStructure
End Sub
