Option Strict On disallows late binding

Question

Today I'm getting an error with this code and this code has not changed in years:

           <itemtemplate>

           <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Link") %>

           </itemtemplate>

 

Does anyone have any idea why or what I can do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance,

that has not changed in years:

 

				            <asp:templatecolumn 
					            headertext="Link"
					            sortexpression="Link"
					            headerstyle-cssclass="datagridSubHeader" 
					            itemstyle-horizontalalign="left"
					            headerstyle-horizontalalign="left">
            					
					            <itemtemplate>
						            <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Link") %>
					            </itemtemplate>

					            <edititemtemplate>
						            <asp:textbox runat="server" id="LinkTextBox" style="width:390px;" text='<%# Container.DataItem("Link") %>' />
					            </edititemtemplate>         
            					       
				            </asp:templatecolumn>

 

 

 

Answer 1

robably you have set in Tools Basic Options Project and solutions VB Defaults Option Strict Off,

It is hard to find with the code you provided, this in fact classic style asp code insertion. 

Probably is your dataitem 'Link" not a string.

Be aware that you have a better chance to hear how to change this in the forum

This is exactly done the same for all .Net languages in ASP.Net

Answer 2

This is set either as Cor said or under the project properties box on the compile tab.

Answer 3

Place "Option Strict Off" at the top of the code page above the Imports statements.  Leaving Option Strict On for most code will avoid subtle hard to find errors that would be masked with it off.

Hi Alejandro Trillo,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

This queue is about Visual Basic. I’m afraid that your topic about ASP.Net is off topic here. For better support, I will move this thread to off topic forum. You can post this thread to the correct forum and here is the link: http://forums.asp.net/ . Sorry for any inconvenience.
