VS 2005 Option Strict On Conversion Verse Parse?
Feb 6, 2010
I decided to turn on "Option Strict" to see all my implicit conversions that were going on WOW there were alot.I am making changes when I discoverd the following problem:With Option Strict Off , everything works great
Option Strict Off
Dim glahh As Integer = (Me.subj_gla_txt.Text * 120%) / 100
Dim glah As Integer = (Me.subj_gla_txt.Text * 115%) / 100
Dim glal As Integer = (Me.subj_gla_txt.Text * 85%) / 100
[code]....
I get run time error can not convert string "" to Double at the last line That error I thought would indicate that Me.List2_glatxt.Text is empty? I dont see how it could be since that line in the code above as integer works?

VB.Net just showing its true colors again? When I turn Option Strict On, I am still able to do implicit narrowing conversions in a for each loop.For example, this code actually compiles;
Private Sub foobar()
Dim foo() As foo = {New foo}
For Each bar As bar In foo[code].....
From my understanding of Option Strict, this should not work.See here "Restricts implicit data type conversions to only widening conversions".My code above is a narrowing conversion, and so should be illegal.It will fail at runtime with an InvalidCastException.
C# does the same thing. Below is another implicit narrowing conversion.
private void foobar()
{
foo[] foo={new foo()};[code]......

Dr = DataSet11.Jobdata.NewRow
[code]....
With Option Strict On, I am getting an error with the above code, which is part of a procedure to add a new record in an 2003 access database table named "Jobdata". The items in Combobox3 is populated by another table in the same database, which has a Status field and a Key field. What I'm trying to do is to insert in the Status field in Jobdata table the correspoding integer value in Key to which ever
status is selected from the combobox.

Just wondering what the preferred/practised data type conversion technique is?
For example I recently enabled option strict, which in turn found quite a few errors in relation to data types, vb.net prompted me to use CType, which is fine.
However, I have seen other functions for data type conversion, such as .tostring, CInt , Convert, integer.parse and also Ctype.
Why would you use Ctype over the others?
I know its a pretty primitive question , but why do so many conversion methods exist?

I have to take over a project written in vb.net, which contains more than 400k lines of code written in option strict off mode. I want to build it under option strict on first before I do anything else -- which maybe converting it into C#. I found there's thousands of lines of code raises compilation error, mostly are about implicit type casts. Is there any tool would help to make it compile under option strict on mode if I don't want to correct every single line manually? Because it's really painful to add CStr/CInt invocation into every line of Code myself.

I have inherited a VB.NET application that I need to compile so I can run dorkumentation on it. I first received "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversion from x to y" errors, so I turned off the Option Strict option in the Project file.
So why do I still fail with the same error message?

I really like the coding speed that vb.net provides, but I don't like the possibility to forget to declare variable types, return types of functions, etc. and that is why in each class I use[code]..
Is there a way to define those two options on the project/solution level?

1. I have read that keeping Option strict on and Option infer off is good practice and will insure your code is tight and properly written. I would like input regarding this, pro's and con's from those who are in the know.
2. Having said that, I have set Option strict on and Option infer off in an existing program I wrote (that was working perfectly mind you) with them off and on respectively. I went through and cleaned up all the errors on the 'need AS' and casting of variables, but one is leaving me a bit put out.[code]
I have also read where using My.Computer.System.Directory.GetFiles() instead of System.IO.Directory.GetFiles() is probably not a good thing, but when I change to this I get no error, but also no dataI am thinking I should stay with the strict on and infer off but am really slogging through getting this code correct.Running Win7 on Dual Quad Core XEON Intel Extreme with 8Gb RAM.

Explanation of Build verse Publish Compile in simple english. I have my first appication I want to now deploy. I have been reading about Clickonce and it looks like a nice solution for my project. I actually tried it already but I recieved an error message "forbidden" I think there is an issue with my hosting site? Anyway I have been reading and am a bit confused to these different terms. Is build what I would use if I want to add-in a set-up / installer package with program with an exe file, sort of like the traditional way of handing someone a disk and they install it on there machine? Publish appears to what is used for the click once, but I dont think thats the only thing. I can publish to a disk? It looks like I can publish to my own computer until i figure out my website issue and test the program from there?

what do you thinkg about comment below? original article url is also suggested to read.I didnt get why my code will be faster if i use it on. anyone has good knowledge about it?
Although Visual Basic .NET allows you to perform implicit type conversions and late binding, you should avoid these practices. Implicit type conversions and late binding may lead to severe performance problems, runtime errors, code that is difficult to read and maintain,and sub-standard programming practices.Many VB.NET professional programmers believe that leaving OPTION STRICT OFF by default was perhaps Microsoft's worst decision in the VB.NET implementation. Use OPTION STRICT ON.

I have an old programme that was written with 'option strict off' I have been steadily working through it mainly sorting out casting issues but have come up against some that I dont understand.for instance I have a checkbox called tickbox
dim Tickbox as new checkbox
later in the code
dim blah as boolean = Me.Tickbox.CheckState
but option strict insists i cast it as a boolean
dim blah as boolean = CBool(Me.Tickbox.CheckState)
surely the checkbox.checkstate is Booleean?

Do you use 'strict off' option, 'explicit off'? Or may be 'strict custom' and some other options like 'Implicit type. Object assumed', 'Late binding', 'Implicit conversion'?
