Datatype conversion question

[pink2070]

I have a small problem, I am trying to get the typing correct, I'm sure the solution is simple, so here's the problem:

Dim ff As clsFTP 'this is a class

Dim strArray() As String = ff.GetFileListMod

I am not able to assign strArray with ff.GetFileListMod, I receive the following error message:

Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Object' to '1-dimensional array of String'.

I already know that by disabling Option Strict my code will work, I am simply looking for the correct way to do it

is clsFTP a class that you wrote yourself?

or perhaps this

Dim strArray() As String = directcast(ff.GetFileListMod,string())
