This code worked before I added option strict.  But I should do it correctly.

option ...
option Strict On

Public Structure Itm
    Dim mailSvr As String
    ...
    Public Sub New(ByVal a1 As String...)
        mailSvr = a1
    End Sub
End Structure

Sub...
ht = New Hashtable
ht.Add("0", New Itm("thecorporatecounsel", ".net", "CC", "TCCNET_ID", "T"))
ht.Add("0", New Itm("thecorporatecounsel", ".net", "CC", "TCCNET_ID", "T"))
....
End Sub

Sub ...
str1 = ht(0).mailSvr  <<<<----complains here now - say late binding not
allowed
....
End Sub

What do I need to do to make it early binding?  What do I need to cast this
to?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

The index 0 is actually a string "0".  Still complains though with option
Strict on

Sub ...
str1 = ht("0").mailSvr  <<<<----complains here now - say late binding not
allowed
....
End Sub

I tried CType(ht("0").MailSvr, String)  ---- still complains

wait !!!!  I just tried this and it stopped complaining !!!

str1 = CType(ht("0"), Itm).mailSvr  

Nevermind.  He's happy again.

Show quote Hide quote Cast to the type of the object.

To type Itm:

    str1 = directcast(ht(0), Itm).mailSvr

If you will access the hashtable in more situations, you should consider
writing your own collection having a typed Item property.

Show quote Hide quote Use 'str1 = DirectCast(ht(0), Itm).mailSvr' instead.  In .NET 2.0 you can
use one of the generic dictionary classes which can be parameterized with
the item type instead of 'Hashtable'.
