Option Strict Conversion Problem

Little Shell · July 15th, 2006, 08:36 AM

I am writing a program with Option Strict ON. I know if I were to turn it off my problem would be solved, however, I would like to understand.

When I write the following code I immediately get a blue underline beneath the second line of code. The message reads:

"Value type of 1-dimensional array of Char cannot be converted to Char"

Dim characterarray As Char

characterarray = New Char(5) {}

Code:

    Dim characterarray() As Char  ' Need to establish that this is an array.

    characterarray = New Char(5) {}
