VB and C#

Hi

Can i use vb(or vb.net) and c#(or c#.net) together in a project? if yes, how?

thanks

Sure It's already been done. It's called Vista


Sorry...

you can certainly combine the two .net languages, they will both compile to that wierd MSIL IIRC. As to how you would do it, its been too long since I looked at something more complex than perl or PHP for me to tell you :/

Hi

To be picky: No, you cannot use two different .NET languages in one project.
However, you can use classes/methods/... written in c# in a vb.net-project
and vice versa.

A "project", as the term is used in a .NET environment, results (usually) in one
dll (assembly). An assembly is written in one particular .NET language.

However, you can add references to a project/assembly written in
another .NET language, and due to the mechanism of reflections you won't
see any differences in your development environment (if it is worth something).
I won't lecture about IL applications and the CLR, but these concepts (similar
to the philosophy behind java) are responsible for a smooth execution.
I mention those terms for completeness and for you to google if you want
to go somewhat deeper.

(to be even more picky: it is possible in ASP.NET to mix code[1]. However,
two compilations actually are performed, which corresponds in ordinary
.NET applications to two separate projects.)

Good luck.

Cheers


P.s. A big hello to everybody here - Unfortunately, I am currently too busy (or unable) to participate more, but I am lurking :D
