Hybrid Project

[A.M]

Hi,

Can I have both C# and VB.NET pages/modules in a visual studio.net project?

Thanks,
Ali

Currently you can use multiple languages within a solution, but only one
language per project.
Things should get even more flexible in .NET 2.0.

I did this once when I was playing with the Beta version of VS.NET. If I
recall correctly, I had a C# web project, and a VB.NET one. I copied a
vb.net webform, along with its codebehind into the C# project, and added it
to the project. Everything seemed to work well

AFAIK yes. You might have to load two projects into one solution.

Hi Ali,
Thanks for posting in the community! My name is Steven, and I'll be
assisting you on this issue.
From your description, you'd like to know whether it's possible to have
both C# and VB.NET pages/modules in a visual studio.net project? Or in
other words whether it possible to use multi language to develop in the
same project?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

As for this problem, here is my suggestions:
Generally, the dotnet support multi-languages, that "Multi-language" is
based on component level(assembly level) colaboration. For example, we use
C# to build a .net component and then use it in a VB.NET project and also
the contrary. And normally as others' suggestion, we can build a solution
and create multi projects developed under different lanugage such as C# ,
VB.NET or c++ ... to generate the different parts of components of a whole
big solution. But as for the "VB.NET pages/modules in a visual studio.net
project", I think it is something like use multi language to develop a
single .net project. This is not recommended or supported by the dotnet
development documenation. Also, I think there'll occur some unexcepted
errors if you do such operations in a certain .net project within VS.NET.
So I recommend that you consider the assembly level component
colaboration(using multi-languages to develop components in separate
projects) in a certain solution. How do you think of it?

In addtion, here is tech articles on using multi-language and component
developing in dotnet development:

Thanks Steven for reply.

It seems multiple language involves some hassles, so i am going to invest
some time and translate the project to C#.
