Default Options IDE

[bri189a]

I dont like typing

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

on every code page. These should be on by default. I cant find a setting to have them automatically turned on in the Options dialog... where is it?

You can set them at the project level rather than every code module.

Right, thats what Im trying to do... where do I set that? You got to remember, Im use to C# where you have Option Strict/Option Explict by defaut, and why VB would even allow you to do undeclared variables just seems to be a recipe for disaster...... maybe even Option Compare... not sure how that one relates to C#.

Tools -> Options.
Click on the Projects folder and go to VB Defaults. Turn everything on.

So that its harder (for anyone) to debug of course. I wish that everybody would turn theirs on because its depressing receiving someones "working" code that violates several Option Strict ordinances and doesnt compile.
