When creating a T4 template in VB.NET, how do you specify Option Explicit, Option Strict,and Option Infer settings? There's some sort of <#@ #> tag for doing this, but I can't find it.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
Using VS2008, targetting framework 3.5, trying to update some VB4 code. Yes, VB4.I have a bunch of legacy code I'm trying to update, and I had the idea of trying to work through it by executing the old code, working out what was causing each error as I came to it, solving the problem, and then moving on.In order to do this, I have sinned and set Option Strict Off, Option Explicit Off and Option Infer On.Yes, I'm going to hell for this.Problem is, I'm still getthing errors that various things haven't been declared.All of these the items showing errors are in the form: itemName(obj)Is my problem that the compiler thinks that these are method calls for methods which haven't been declared?PS: For anyone wanting to tell me not to use these settings, I already know

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 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.

Possible Duplicate: Best Practices: Option Infer What is the best way to mix VB.NET's Option Strict and the new Option Infer directives? I am developing a old solution, that was translated from VB6 to the VB.NET.Actually, the default options in files are
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
I want to use LINQ, and found that is easier to use also the Option Infer On. Less to write, less (so, easier) to read.However, a (conservative, from my point of view) part of the team keeps the Option Infer Off and insist do not use it at all, without explicitly explain the causes.In your opinion, what are the "dangers" of using Option Infer On, along with other two options (Strict and Explicit, both On)?
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?
What do you feel are best practices for the use of Option Infer in your projects? In Visual Studio 2008, Option Infer is a directive that allows the compiler to infer the datatype of a declared variable by looking at what is assigned to it. This is a key feature in VS2008 and is used extensively with LINQ statements and queries. However, turning on Option Infer may create pitfalls for future maintenance programmers.
View 5 RepliesWill that detect whether the integer should be int64 or int32? What about if we run the program twice. Once we use small numbers and latter we'll use big numbers?
Let's look at this for example: vb.net Dim vector1 As List(Of Int64)Dim vector2 As List(Of Int64) vector1.Sort()vector2.Sort(Function(x As Int64, y As Int64) As Int64Return y - x
What about if I do: vb.net vector1.Sort()vector2.Sort(Function(x As Int64, y As Int64) As Int64Return y - x

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.
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'?

Whenever I created a new VB.NET program I must go into project's proerties and set 'option strict' on. Can I do that once so it is a default for every time I create new project?
