Strict On/Off

Hi,

I generally like to be very tight with my type casting and matching,
so I like the use Option Strict On.

However, I am coming across some needs where I would to turn it off.

As far as I can see, the compiler doesn't support turning it off/on
between code lines.

If this possible?

I guess I can break up the code and put these parts in a new module
where I know the type casting is safe and use Option Strict off but
is it possible with some other method?

Thanks

Mike,

The partial class can be your friend in this, although I have never that I
cannot cast.

Unfortunately no. You can only turn it on/off on a member basis by using a
partial class and setting 'Option Strict On'/'Option Strict Off' for each of
the partial type declarations.

I tend to use this approach when dealing with COM Interop scenarios such as
in Office programming.
