C# Class in VB.NET Project ??

[harry]

Hi,

I have downloaded a C# ComboBox DataGridColumnStyle Class from
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/datagridcomboboxcolumn.asp

I want to use it in my VB.NET program. I try to reference it but
intellisense doesn't pick it up.

Can I use C# class in my VB.NET project or do I need to create and reference
a seperate C# DLL project from my VB project?

I'm sure I've used a C# classes in a past VB.NET project however now I'm
wondering whether I just referenced a seperate project in my solution.

Thanks
Harry

You need to create a DLL and reference that.

I'm sure you have.

In fact, using the command line tools you can create ".netmodules" from
each language and link them together to form a single assembly - but it
looks messy (the .netmodules still exist) and there's no way of doing
it from VS.NET.

In 2005 this is supposed to be possible... Haven't tried it yet though..

Harry,

Maybe you can try this one, I thought that Pat did write an answer and he
made a little addition which I have added to my code, so I have that in my
code, so when you have a problem and want to use this, tell me than I paste
in the class as I have it now.

(this is the columnstyle one in VBNet code, not the standard one)

Pats question and answer are gone from the newsgroupthread in Google.
