Option Strict in VS.net 1

[kabushnell]

I am using visual studio.net 2003 and I have a question about Option Strict. I have turned on Option Strict. Then with this code I get the error that "Option Strict On Disallows implicit conversions from 'Double' to 'Decimal'"

I don't really understand why. I thought I had done something very similar to this in another solution and it worked.

Here is the code:

Option Strict On

then I have a button click event with the following code

Dim intInvestment As Integer
Dim decIntRate As Decimal
Dim intYears As Integer
Dim decFutureValue as Decimal

intInvestment = CInt(txtInvestment.Text)
decIntRate = CDec(txtIntRate.Text)
intYears = CInt(txtYears.Text)

decFutureValue = intInvestment * (1 + decIntRate) ^ intYears

Have you tried this ?
decFutureValue = CDec(intInvestment * (1 + decIntRate) ^ intYears)

Hope This Help, PH.
