C# error CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment,

Here is the line where I am getting error:

_activeType == typeof(Reticle);

Here is how the Reticle class is defined. Some of the properties and methods might not be making much sense, but I think the definition of the class should be the key issue:

public class Reticle : Shape
{
    #region Fields

    private readonly Path _path;       
    private bool _isClosed;
    private PointCollection _points;       

    #endregion Fields

    #region Constructors
    public Reticle()     // constructor
    {
        var geometry = new PathGeometry();
        geometry.Figures.Add(new PathFigure());
        _path = new Path { Data = geometry };
        Points = new PointCollection();           
    }
    #endregion Constructors

    #region Properties
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets a value that specifies the arc roundness.
    /// </summary>
    public Geometry Data
    {
        get
        {
            return _path.Data;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets a value that specifies if the polygon will be closed or not.
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsClosed
    {
        get
        {
            return _isClosed;
        }
        set
        {
            _isClosed = value;

        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets a collection that contains the points of the polygon.
    /// </summary>
    public PointCollection Points
    {
        get { return _points; }
        set
        {
            _points = value;

        }
    }   

    protected override Geometry DefiningGeometry
    {
        get
        {
            return _path.Data;
        }
    }

        //The distance cannot be greater than half of the length of the segment
        if (distance > (segmentLength / 2))
            distance = segmentLength / 2;
        double rap = firstPoint ? distance / segmentLength : (segmentLength - distance) / segmentLength;
        return new Point(p1.X + (rap * (p2.X - p1.X)), p1.Y + (rap * (p2.Y - p1.Y)));
    }

    private static Point CreateCrosshair(Point p1, Point p2, double distancePercent, bool firstPoint)
    {
        double rap = firstPoint ? distancePercent / 100 : (100 - distancePercent) / 100;
        return new Point(p1.X + (rap * (p2.X - p1.X)), p1.Y + (rap * (p2.Y - p1.Y)));
    }

I am new to C#, and I have no idea why the error is happening. Anyone has any idea how I should correct the error?
