.NET mix C# with vb.NET

[Guest]

it is accepted to combine in one system both C# projects and vb.NET projects?

if i have a system that wrote in vb.net and i'm C#-er, can i continue to
develop the system with C#?

It is technically possible.

The problem is the maintenance.

If your team is a big team and the application
is cleanly divided in layers so you have 5 people
working on the presentation layer, 2 people on
the business logic layer and 1 working on the
data access layer, then I can not see a
problem using VB.NET in PL and C# in BLL & DAL.

I can see a big problem if half the code behinds
in the PL is in VB.NET and the other half in C#.

I can see a problem if future maintenance is going
to be a 1 person job.

So think at the maintenance for the next 10 years
before going multi lingual.

You can combine languages in the same solution but not in the same project.

It's quite acceptable for example to create an application in VB that
uses DLL's written in C#

Yep. In ASP.NET 2.0 you can even have different pages in the same project
written in different languages.

You can build one DLL from both C# and VB.NET source - it is just not
supported in Visual Studio.
