In a related question, my team is about to (hopefully) start using LINQ, and I'd like to take advantage of anonymous types. What is the best way to mix VB.NET's Option Strict (which we've been using through the life of the project) and the new Option Infer directives? ...

I have to take over a project written in vb.net, which contains more than 400k lines of code written in option strict off mode.

Consider the requirement to always declare Option Strict On. We'll always need to declare variables with the As keyword. What would be the type of an anonymous type? Example : Dim product As ... = New With { Key .Name = "paperclips", .Price = 1.29 } What will follow the As? ...
