Option Strict

[Bananafish]

Option Strict can be set on from the project Properties form, however is it possible to set Option Strict as On as the default for all new projects?

I don't think so !

GO to project properties-Common Properties - Build and change Option Trict default

I know about this , Can you make it default for all new projs ??

Which is fine for that project, but I want to set it so that all future projects default to Option Strict On.

I've not tried this in .NET .
In VS6 I can build empty proj with my own settings and save it under templates folder . Whenever I wanted to build proj with specific settings , it just shows in the template projs . I think , Template Wizard is flexible to do that.

Hi

The only way I know to do this is to change the Project Template.
For a WindowsApplication this is located in

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.NET\VB7\VBWizards\WindowsApplication\Templates\1033\WindowsApplication.vbproj.

Modify the file as follows:

<VisualStudioProject>
<VisualBasic>
<Build>
<Settings>
OptionExplicit = "On"
OptionStrict = "On"

This should set Option Strict as On as Default.

Hope this helps
