[RESOLVED] VB Defaults

My defaults are set to Infer Off, Strict and Explicit On.

I create a windows forms app in VS2022. It is .Net 8.

The form has a button and a textbox and this code shows no errors and runs.

Code:

---

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1.Text = 1 / 2
        ' TextBox1.Text  has 0.5
    End Sub
End Class

What?

edit:

If I declare the options in the form then I get errors.

Option Strict On : Option Explicit On : Option Infer Off

If I create a Windows Forms App (.Net Framework) then I get the appropriate errors.

It looks like .NET Core projects don't respect the VB defaults in the VS options. I just set my defaults the same as yours:

Infer Off
Strict On
Explicit On

When I looked at the project properties, I saw this:

Infer On
Strict Off
Explicit On

Looks like Option Strict On will have to be set at the project level. I think that's something to report to Microsoft.

Thanks for confirming. I've never reported anything to MS. Any guidance?

In VS, select Help -> Send Feedback -> Report a Problem and fill out the form in your browser. Search for similar reports first. Provide as much relevant info as possible, including step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue, what you expect to happen and what actually happens. I'd include screenshots of your Options dialogue and the properties of new .NET Framework and .NET projects. You should also include your OS and VS version numbers.

Thanks.
