Me is a combobox and the items are objects with a property "String1"

The problem with the following construct is that one does not know if there
is a typo until run time.

Me.Items(LpCnt).string1



What is the best way to force early binding or at least get the compiler to
check?



Thanks

DirectCast(Me.Items(LpCnt), MyClass).String1

Couldn't be better

Option Strict On

I haven't got myself to code that way.

If I did, what would happen - the compiler force me to add DirectCast?


Thanks

Unless you have a base object which contains most of the methods you are
using you are correct.

But remember, it will take you a second to do this and over the period of
use of the appication it will save you client much time. Also you will get
many less runtime errors since the code has been checked at compile time.
