dll with both C# and VB

[tshad]

I have a VS 2008 project that is going to create a Class Library.

Can I use both C# and VB files to create this?

I have 3 classes that are in C# and 4 that are in VB and would like to put
them in the same library.

If not, I will create 2. But if I create 2 .dlls can they use the same
namespace?

Thanks,

Tom

You can't create a single dll that is coded in different languages.
Either create two dll's or convert the source code to a single language.

Now I am confused.

What about what Juan said about the App_Code folders and using it to created
one dll with different languages?

yes you can, but visual studio does not have builtin support for two
languages in one project, so you will need to edit the project file to
do it. you need to compile the source with the correct compiler, then
use al.exe to build the assembly. you could also to two projects and
combine as a separate step.

unless you need one dll, the simple answer is to create two projects
using the same namespace (or just convert the vb code c#, probably less
work than editing the project file).

re:

I didn't say that, at least in reference to MSIL.

I said you can use both languages and that you can use the
same namespace even though you're using using both languages.

In sum :

1. You will wind up with different dlls for vb and c#.
2. You can use the same namespace in both
3. The MSIL in both dlls will be merged into the page's dll in the temp files directory.

re:

If you use code subdirectories for VB and C#...

1. You will wind up with different dlls for vb and c#.
2. You can use the same namespace in both
3. The MSIL in both dlls will be merged into the page's dll in the temp files directory.
