Option Strict on by default in VB.NET

Question

Whenever I created a new VB.NET program I must go into the project's properties and set 'Option strict' on. Can I do that once so it is a default for every time I create a new project?

This should be the default behaviour when creating a new project. I have created a UserVoice entry for this: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-2015/suggestions/10672947-set-option-strict-on-by-default-instead-of-off — Matt Wilko, Jul 05 '16 at 11:16

In Visual Studio, go menu Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VB defaults -> Option Strict. Set it to "On".

Every time you create a new project, it will have Option Strict On by default.

You can set that in the Visual Studio options, under Projects and Solutions and VB Defaults.
