C# code within VB.NET and vice versa

[Dino Buljubasic]

Is it possible to use C# code within VB.net or viceversa and if yes
why would one need to do somehting like this?

Also, what would be advantages of C# over VB.net and viceversa?

Thank you

Dino,

Is it possible to use C# code within VB.net or viceversa and if yes
why would one need to do somehting like this?

For Windows Forms projects and Class Library projects: The language can be
chosen on per-project basis. For ASP.NET projects: Files written in
different languages can be mixed. It's not supported to mix VB.NET and C#
within one file.

Also, what would be advantages of C# over VB.net and viceversa?

This topic has been discussed many times in the public. I am sure you find
these discussions using Google Groups Search.

I agree with Herfried, but one point of clarification. If, for instance, you
have a class library (dll) project in C#, you can use the functions of this
DLL created in a C# project in a VB.NET project (just reference the DLL). I
do this quite frequently.

Cheers,
Lee

That's indeed right. You can even have projects of different programming
languages in the same solution.

Yes, I do that occassionally as well.

Thank you
