vb.net running in debug mode vs. running the executable

I have a vb.net 2005 project and have made a lot of modifications to it. The
project runs fine in debug mode. Now I want to implement it and first I am
running the executable on my machine to make sure it runs properly...
However, when I run it locally as an executable, I get no end to run time
errors - things like conversions from type string to integer etc...etc....
There's seems to be a billion problems all of a sudden.

I have option strict turned OFF in my development environment. Is it
enforcing all of these errors that would normally have been generated with
option strict ON when running as an executable? Is there a way to get around
it at all? I don;t understand why it runs perfectly fine in dev but bombs
out in a big way when running as an executable...

Thanks,

Brad

Why do you have Option Strict turned Off? In my book that is a huge no-
no. I'm not sure why they don't blow up during development, but you
should turn on Option Strict and fix them.

Yes, I think you are right - I will do that from now on.... They really
shouldn't even give you that option really...

Thanks, Brad

It shouldn't be the difference all things being equals. If I remember the
IDE have an otpion to hide exceptions.

Also if you done your appl to continue whatever happens you'll have loads of
errors if something goes wrong but the first one is likely the more
signigifant (but example if data can't be loaded, you can then run in a fiar
amount of subsequent errors).

Your best bet would be investigate the first error you get. Optino strict o
is a good idea but it shouldn"t make a difference all things being equal
(basically it help to makes code that won"t contains those errors but if it
is off there i not reason you can run the code in debug mdoe with no error
and have loads of error when running the EXE file).

I have an application that when I run it in VS 2005 debug mode it operates faster (10 fold) than when I execute the exe directly from the bin directory. The one operation in particular in which the performance differs so greatly is when the app makes a call to another service and inserts the return data into a SQL server. I have verified there is nothing shady going on in the SQL server. This is also not a new problem I have been...
