I know this is a very basic question, but when you declare a function As a data type, I'm assuming that it's based on the return value...
What if you're not returning a value? Does it matter? What should I declare it as?
How can I get round this error: Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from
[Code]...
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 really prefer to keep Option Strict On. the proper way to do this?
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?
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.
View 10 RepliesWhy 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]..

This is giving "Option Strict On disallows late binding"
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?)

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...

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.

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'?
