Question

i’m encountering the following problem. I recently activated ‘Option Strict On’ and now I get an error in my LINQ query. From e As TEnum returns the following error:

Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from ‘Object’ to ‘TEnum’

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Public Module SelectItemPandEnumExtension
        <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
        Public Function ToSelectListEnum(Of TEnum)(enumObj As TEnum) As SelectList
            Dim values = From e As TEnum In [Enum].GetValues(GetType(TEnum))
                         Select New With {.Id = e, .Name = e.ToString()}

            Return New SelectList(CType(values, Collections.IEnumerable), "Id", "Name", enumObj)
        End Function
    End Module

Answer 1

I had to remove the As TEnum.
