That's one problem I always have with the books too, they tend to use a lot of implicit conversion. Of course, you learn a lot from making the examples work with option strict on. There are various ways to do it, John. You can use a Ctype() function to convert the object to a clsSomething like this: Ctype(SerializeData(....), clsSomething). You can also use a DirectCast function.

I have a situation where I am trying to use code from a book. That code assigns an object type to a class, i.e. Dim lcls as clsSomething = SerializeData(... SerializeData returns an object. How do I cast Serialize data to return a type clsSomething so that I don't get the "option strict disallows..." error message? John W.
