Private Sub FlowLayoutPanel1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles
FlowLayoutPanel1.DragDrop
        If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
            Dim fullFilenames() As String
            fullFilenames = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)
        End If
    End Sub

Line 'fullFilenames = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)' give the Error
'Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Object' to
'1-dimensional array of String'
I must disable 'Option strict' to continue...

What must I change to avoid this error ?

Thanks for your attention

Philip

GetData returns an Object.  If it's really a string array, then you
need to cast it by calling DirectCast:

fullFilenames =
DirectCast(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop),String())

Perfect !

Thanks sincerely. Option is again 'strict' without error. I'm happy !
