VB.NET: Option Strict ON conversion....[Resolved]

I heard that working on codes with Option Strict ON give me a better way to learn programming....
Say I have turn the Option Strict ON....
all the coding works well when the option Strict is OFF.....

1) How to convert the error "String to Integer" in this case

Code:

---

Dim data As String
For Each nod As XmlNode In xdoc.SelectNodes("//time")
    data = nod.Attributes("hour").Value
    cboVHour.SelectedIndex = data
Next

---

2) Secondly, I have this String which take in Integer, how to solve the error "Integer to String" in the second case.

Code:

---

Dim dd As Integer
dd = Now.Day
lblDay.Text = dd

---

3) Lastly, I have an Xml String and I wanted to display an additional day to it in the Xml String. How to solve thr error "String to Double" in this third case.

Code:

---

XmlString = "<OK>" &  dd + 1 & "</OK>"

---

Thanks

Hi,

I'm no master programmer yet, and don't have vb.net on the machine I'm on now.

Just wanted to say, Don't give up on using Option Strict On. Forces you to figure out the "right" way of doing things.

From the top of my head:
1) Play around with adding .ToString (like nod.Attributes("hour").Value.ToString
2) Pllay around with CType and DirectCast

Good Luck

The Convert class allows you to do most of what you want to do.

I solve it...

For the First one:

Code:

---

Dim data As String
For Each nod As XmlNode In xdoc.SelectNodes("//time")
    data = nod.Attributes("hour").Value
    cboVHour.SelectedIndex = CInt (data)
Next
'OR
Dim data As String
For Each nod As XmlNode In xdoc.SelectNodes("//time")
    data = nod.Attributes("hour").Value
    cboVHour.SelectedIndex = Integer.Parse (data)
Next

---

For the Second one:

Code:

---

Dim dd As Integer
dd = Now.Day
lblDay.Text = CStr(dd)
'OR
Dim dd As Integer
dd = Now.Day
lblDay.Text = dd.ToString

---

The last one is my error.....It could works well

Could anyone sent me any link or suggestion that i might face during the changes made from the Option Strict set to ON...

Thanks in advance
