I am getting Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Boolean' to 'String' on [b]False[/b]

How do I solve this?

VB

If Not blnInvalid Then
    'Check if the citation is a duplicate
    strCitationNumbers = Msc.Integration.Mncis.Library.v4.Citation.GetCaseNumbersForCitation(strCitationNumber, False)
    If (strCitationNumbers(0) <> "No Matching Case") Then
    'add the error message
     CType(objXMLCitationNode, XmlElement).SetAttribute("validationError", "This is a duplicate citation.")
    End If
End If

What I have tried:

VB

Solution 1

The variable you are trying to update or the value to pass as a reference, is expecting a String value, but it gets a Boolean value.

You can do;

VB

strCitationNumbers = Msc.Integration.Mncis.Library.v4.Citation.GetCaseNumbersForCitation(strCitationNumber, "False")
