I'm using .NET 3.5 In my DataLayer class I have references of System.Core,System.Data.Linq, System.Data.DataSetExtensions. But I cantnot use this feature in Linq query if I have Option Strict ON:

I really prefer to keep Option Strict On. the proper way to do this?
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'm facing a trick issue with LINQ. I generate the above code:[code..]
Everything is running well if I turn off Option Explicit. When I turn it on, compiler is showing me a meessage: Expression is of type 'Object', which is not a collection type. Referencing to lResult variable.
i'm encountering the following problem. I recently activated 'Option Strict On' and now I get an error in my LINQ query. From e As TEnum returns the following error: Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Object' to 'TEnum'. [code]

I've got the below, where I'm grouping a collection by a propery, then wanting to access the properties of my group. Problem I have is with the anonymous typing. Because of option strict I have to give an explicit type but I can't work out what the type should be. The below doesn't compile because t.HeadAccountKey isn't a value (as t has a type of object). So either I need do some casting or my linq selector is wrong,

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 a DataGridView that is bound to a list of objects called "BaseChange". The BaseChange objects are made up of 4 properties...
ChangeType
ChangeStatus
ChangeDescription
LastChangeDate
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.

How do I convert this proper? (Option Strict On)
I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.
[Code]...
I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.
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?
The following LINQ query resp. call of the extension method Select in Visual Basic 2010 is working fine:
Dim qAvSalary = qJobData.Select(Function(e) e.AvSalary) But doing so I am not able to specify the name of property I want the query (e.g. AvSalary) using a string variable. This should be possible if I use a LINQ expression tree. Searching and trying a long time on how to translate the query to a corresponding expression tree was not successful. My final approach is:

Can I make an Extension method for all the subclasses of System.Object (everything)?
Example:
<Extension>
Public Function MyExtension(value As Object) As Object
Return value
End Function
The above functions won't work for object instance:UPDATE The problem seems to occur only in VB, where members of object are looked-up by reflection (late-bound).UPDATE AFTER ANSWERED.FYI, as vb has an advantage that C# lacks that is, members of imported Modules are imported to the global scope so you can still use this functions without their wrapper:Dim myObj2 = MyExtension(myObj1)
When I have Option Strict ON in my project, the IDE tells me that "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Data.ParameterDirection' to 'String'." How can this be, since I'm using their built-in enumeration for the SqlParameter direction.

I have two lists declared as follows:
Dim lstDBItems As New List(Of DBItem)
Dim lstAppItems As New List(Of AppItem)
I am trying to do something like this:
I've a function which returns List(Of AppItem):
Function GetAppItems() As List(Of AppItem)
'...
End Function
In the above function I populate lstDBItems and then write the return statement like follows:
Return lstDBItems.Select(Function(x)
dim oItem As New AppItem()
oItem.Property1 = x.DbProperty1

The weird thing is the code compiles, but on rumtime I get a type case error.
I'm working on a larger VB application (framework v3.5) where the compile time continues to get slower and slower the larger it grows. It currently takes about 7 minutes to compile just the extensions project. We have other similar projects in C# that don't experience the slow compile time.

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.

I had a code segment on an asp.net page in the code-behind file. I decided to move it into a public subroutine in a module (general_functions.vb). Once I did this, however, the code no longer works - it throws an error. On the original code-behind I replaced the original code with a call like so:
[Code]...
Dim frm As mshtml.HTMLFormElement
Dim sel As mshtml.HTMLSelectElement
Dim hi As mshtml.IHTMLElementCollection
Dim inp As mshtml.HTMLInputElement

Looks to me that childnodes object has a more specific type. But what? Not ihtmlcollection. The type support some item interface.
Title says it all really, should I have it off unless I'm having an error, or simply have it on all the time?

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.
