Example of ObjProperty with Option Strict OFF and ON

With Option Strict OFF, this entry is valid.

Dim Stat As Object = ObjProperty("STATUSIND.STATUS")
MessageList("The status is: ", Stat)

With Option Strict ON, the previous entry returns an error message. ObjProperty method does not always return an integer. You must specify that STATUS_IND is an integer. In this script, MessageList fails unless you specify that Stat is a string. You must explicitly cast the returns using the Cint and CStr functions.

Dim Stat As Integer = Cint(ObjProperty("STATUSIND.STATUS"))
MessageList("The status is: ",CStr(Stat))

Many examples in this document are written assuming that Option Strict is OFF. If Option Strict is OFF, then you can comment it out. If you want stricter validation, then remove it.
