Hi Taufik,

You are able to add two projects in different .NET languages into the same solution. However, you are not able to add code in different languages in the same assembly (project). To put the code into the same project you would need to convert all of the code into the same language.

Lets assume that you have a solution called solution1 (by default the root namespace would be the same). An existing project (VB) is called class1 and the code is:

Public Class class1
  Public Function vbMethod() As String
    Return "value from vb"
  End Function
End Class
 

A second class in C# can use the method from the first class as such:

public class class2{
  public void csharpMethod(){
    String myString;
    myString = class1.vbMethod();
  }
}
 

The variable myString should be "value from VB". You would need to add a reference in the C# project to the VB project to access the class but that is all.
