Mixing and matching languages.

[UJ]

I have a VB.Net app that was written about a year ago. We have switched over
to C# as our default language. I need to make changes to the VB app
(including adding some new modules.)

Is there a way I can write the new modules in C# and compile them in to the
program?

I realize I could write them as a DLL but I'd like to have all the code
together.

I'm working in .Net 1.1

TIA - Jeff.

Hi,

AFAIK a DLL is the only way to go., either that or write the new code in
Vb.net of course

This isn't necessarily true.

You could always compile the code as a netmodule (the new stuff in C#)
and then link it to the main executable with AL.EXE. However, I agree that
using a DLL is generally the better way to go, it helps enforce better
design (on a fundamental level).

Thanks for the info.....

Another option is to convert the VB code to C#.
Try the demo/trial editions of the various VB to C# converters (including
ours).
