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
