VS 2008 - Option Strict Continued - Gives Me The Going From Double To A Single Error
Oct 13, 2009
Quick code example:
v1.magnitude = myVectors(c).magnitude * 0.95
I have a vector class...and the magnitude is single precision...Now the problem is this, when I run this with option strict on, it gives me the going from double to a single error...Why? Does multiplication imply double precision?
So with option strict on, can you not multiply single precision numbers together and assign them to another single precision variable without first convert.tosingle?
What is the point of this? I am currently changing hundreds of lines of code in a project that runs perfectly...
code]I tried to use the IS operator, it does not work if the check box is checked.I also tried changing .Value to .State without any success. It is last error I have left since I switched Strict Option On.
How do I correct the error Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Double' to 'Integer'. ? The two lines below that divide by 2 are causing the error.
Private Function StringToByteArray(ByVal hex As String) As Byte() Dim NumberChars As Int16 = CShort(hex.Length) Dim bytes As Byte() Dim i As Integer = 0 bytes = New Byte(NumberChars / 2) {}
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 my code working well but with OPTION STRICT OFF. I have decided to fixed all my errors in the code.However after setting the OPTION STRICT to "On", my code have lots of errors. I was able to fixed most of the errors with the except of this DIM statement where I think I have to insert CDate to (Mid$(row("TIME"), 12, 8) >= minTime) and (Mid$(row("TIME"), 12, 8) >= maxTime):
I can run the code fine without the Option Strict on, but once it's turned on, I run in to a "Option Strict On Disallows Late Binding"...why!?! I can't figure out how to fix it....

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.
I have an error in my VB.net program - I have tried various casts etc but it just will not resolve the issue - so reluctantly I post it here to see if anyone else has a similar problem.
Error 1 Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Object' to 'String'.

The datagridview has columns for all 4 values as well as a 5th (a checkbox column called "colIsSelected"). There is no problem binding the list to the grid and displaying the items. The problem is that the query that gets the selected items in the grid is giving me an implicit cast error when option strict is enabled.
This is the query...
Dim _changes As List(Of BaseChange) _changes = (From _row As DataGridViewRow In dgvChanges.Rows() _ Where Convert.ToBoolean(_row.Cells(NAME_COLUMN_IS_SELECTED).Value) = True _ Select DirectCast(_row.DataBoundItem, BaseChange)).ToList()
...and it produces the correct results with option strict off. The implicit cast squiggle is on the "row As DataGridViewRow" code, and the full message is "Implicit conversion from 'Object' to 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRow'*".
If I exclude the "As DataGridViewRow" from the query, I get a late binding error on the _row.Cells and _row.DataBoundItem and this also fails option strict.I need this to work with Option Strict enabled, and in VB.
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?
Why is it so important to turn option strict on? I admit I am not a professional programmer, but I have written a great number of useful applications...I am fairly well (although self) educated in object oriented programming... I even write programs for my business...I always have felt that I am missing some background theory that is probably really important (I have a grad degree in math, no comp sci)...I have never turned on Option Strict for any project I have ever written, and I guess I just want to know, theoretically why is it important?
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?
I have seen numerous errors with this, but I am a bit confused. I am taking a vb.net class now, and we are learning that Option Explicit is definately the way to go in all projects to make sure you follow some coding standards and to deviate from sloppyness.
Anywho, could someone explain what late binding actually is? I have seen a few definations of it, but nothing really makes sence. I know that you have both Early and Late Bindings, and from what I can understand, it is where you reference what you will be using in your project (as in references?)
what does these two code means in vb.net: Option Explicit on Option strict on i think option explicit means the compiler is not going to do any kind of conversion and i need to do all of them by the code;also it becomes case sensitive i.e;
