Since I have option strict on in all my work, I find that I'm converting and casting constatly because of it. Pulling data out of a datareader, whats the diference between these two??

'Should I do it this way??
Acct.AcctPass = CStr(r("AcctPass"))
 
'Or this way??
Acct.AcctPass = CType(r("AcctPass"), String)

CStr is part of the Visual Basic namespace and is a port of the VB6 function instead of a native .NET version that does the same thing like CType. (I think)
