Whenever I created a new VB.NET program, I had to go into the project properties and set "Option strict". Can I do this once so that it becomes standard for every time when creating a new project?
In Visual Studio, go to "Tools" → "Options" → "Projects and Solutions" → "VB Default Settings" → "Strict Option". Set it to "On".
Each time you create a new project, by default it will have the Strict On parameter.
Strict Tools → Options → Projects and Solutions → VB Defaults:
Visual Studio "" > "", " " " VB".
Visual Studio " " " VB".
