Hi,

simple question, and maybe I'm just too blind finding it, but: is there a
simple way to have Option Explicit and Option Strict switched to on by
default with the IDE, or do I have to create new templates for
VB-Applications?

Thanks,

Klaus
 
Without any project opened. Set option strict to ON and then it will remain
on.

Project properties are not available with no open project. :-)

In VB 2003, you can go to Extras -> Optionen -> Projekte -> VB-Standard:
Option Strict ON

In VB 2002, you can change the template, e.g. in

E:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET\Vb7\VBWizards\WindowsApplication\Templates\1031\WindowsApplication.vbpr
oj

There must be
<Settings
OutputType = "WinExe"
OptionExplicit = "On"
OptionStrict = "On"

In the project properties, "General properties" -> "Bild" set "Option
Strict" to "On".
 
OHM,

without any project opened, who *do* I actually set this option to on?

Hi Herfried,

I thought will I write a message, Herfried is giving a message in German,
that is to tickle, and then I saw it was just a typo :-(

Ooops... Really ugly typo. In German it's called "Erstellen".

Replace "Bild" with "Build".
 
I think he wanted this as a default, not for the specific project.

OHM ( God I wish I could be an MVP )

Mhm... You already gave the answer. I thought he wanted it as default
for all files in the project.

I was referring to 2003 - see my post.

.... and I still prefer these 3 lines on top of every source file:

\\\
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Option Compare Binary

Herfried,
Than I do something wrong,

I did everything you and OHM said, but I still have to put it by hand above
my code.
So what do I wrong.

You checked the options in the project's settings?
 
Herfried,

Yes and I cannot write my favorite code on a brand new form

Dim a As Integer = 3 * 2 / 1

So option Strict is on, but not placed above the form.

But it is not that important, has its charm if I forgot it, and today I saw
I did.
