I am trying to set "Option Strict On" on my single .aspx page. I am not
using code-behind or VS. I am running this in DW on Asp.net 1.1

If I do the following:
*************************************************************************
<%@ Page Language="VB" trace=true debug=true ContentType="text/html"
ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<script Language="vb" runat=server>
Option Strict On
Sub Page_Load()

End Sub

</script>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
**************************************

I get the error:
**********************************************
Compiler Error Message: BC30627: 'Option' statements must precede any
declarations or 'Imports' statements.

Source Error:

Line 2: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Line 3: <script Language="vb" runat=server>
Line 4: Option Strict On <-- the error line
Line 5: Sub Page_Load()
Line 6:

**********************************************

There are no Imports statements.

I tried to put the Script at the top of the page - but got the same error:
*************************************************
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Option Script On
</script>
<%@ Page Language="VB" trace=true debug=true ContentType="text/html"
ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<script Language="vb" runat=server>
Sub Page_Load()

End Sub

</script>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

How do I put my Option in my Script if I can't put it at the beginning of my
script section or beginning of the page?

Thanks,

Tom

In the @ Page directive, set Strict="true".

For completeness this is because ASP.NET creates code for your whole page
and the directive is not placed at the appropriate location in the generated
code...

That was it.

And Explicit works the same way.

Thanks,
