Option Strict On disallows late binding

  • Article

Visual Basic allows implicit conversions of any data type to any other data type. However, data loss can occur if the value of one data type is converted to a data type with less precision or a smaller capacity. Option Strict On ensures compile-time notification of these types of conversions so they may be avoided. You cannot use Option Strict On with late binding.
