strict="true" - Not working in asp.net 2 and VS2005 ??

[ianakapilotlight]

We are in the process of moving from .net 1.1 to 2.0 and I dont seem to
be able to resolve this problem.

In VS2003 the Option Strict was swtiched on in the options menu and
this was stored in a project file.

In VS2005 there is no project file so this is now stored in the
web.config. My web.config shows this :-

<compilation debug="true" strict="true" explicit="true">

This should ofcourse prevent such lines in the code behind like below
from occuring.

dim x as int32
x = "12"

However the IDE seems to ignore this option altogether.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

In desparation I have to put Option Strict On at the top of each class,
but surely there is a better way of doing this?

In the IDE.
On the Tools menu, choose Options.
Expand Projects and Solutions node.
Choose VB Defaults.
Modify the Option Strict setting

Hi.

I have the same problem. Changing the VB Defaults so that Option
Strict is On does not resolve the problem. Any suggestions?

It's going to be fixed in next Service Pack for ASP.NET.
