I’ve been manually adding the following line every time I create a new user control / web form in one of my ASP.NET web forms projects:

Option Strict On

I can’t just set it in web.config because it’s a legacy project that has user controls / web forms that would bomb out if we turned on option strict for the entire site, so the current solution is to apply it to all new user controls / web forms and slowly update the older pages. Is there some sort of Visual Studio setting / template I can change so that “Option Strict On” is applied automatically when Visual Studio creates the codebehind files?

    Your templates are located in

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic

    or

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic

    You can modify the name and other file information in your *.vstemplate but you’re probably looking for the *.vb code and just placing the Option Strict On on top.
