How to set DataGridViewCell.Value with Option Strict On

Question

How to test for DataGridViewCell.Value with Option Strict On?

If DataGridViewCell.Value = "some value" then

Gives the error:

Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.

EDIT:

The Solution is:

If DataGridViewCell.Value.ToString = "some value" then

Answer 1

The error message doesn't match your code snippet, that error can't be generated by an assignment. Being forced to guess, use the ToString() method:

 If DataGridViewCell.Value.ToString() = "some value" Then

Or use the CStr() operator, that's more VB-ish.
