Option Strict - Disallowed implicit conversion [Resolved]

[RobDog888]

I am using Option Explicit and Option Strict in my project and I have come accross an error where an implicit
conversion is taking place.

I have a LinearGradientMode and a String array. The LGM is being set from the srting array lie so. How do I convert
it so it wont error?

'drawParts() is the string array.
If Not IsNothing(drawParts(0)) Then _GradientPanel.DrawMode = [color=red]drawParts(0)[/color]
