I always get the late binding error with the following method. Is there anyway around this without turning Option Strict Off?

Private Sub grdAccounts_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles grdAccounts.ItemDataBound
If (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem) Then
Dim myBool As Boolean
myBool = DirectCast(e.Item.DataItem("inactive"), Boolean)
If myBool = True Then
For x As Integer = 1 To e.Item.Cells.Count - 1
e.Item.Cells(x).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("#ececec")
Next
End If
End If
End Sub

You'll have to fix the type mismatch compiler errors and fix them. Strict
Off tells VB.NET to figure it out at runtime (if possible).

Chris,

I don't know if you got an answer to this, but I was facing the sam
issue and did this:

DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "nameOfYourDataItem").ToString


I converted to a string, but you can convert (CType) to whatever yo
want.

Using DataBinder.Eval* Worked for me. I was hitting my head on the table
trying to figure this out. I converted a Visual Studio 2003 web app to
Visual Studio 2005 and am going through tons of needed conversions to comply.


Thanks!
