use C# code in vb.net project

[mike w.]

I found some C# code on the web that I want to use in my vb.net project.
How can I do this without translating the C# to VB.net?

It's pretty nasty looking or I'd translate it myself
stuff like
#region COM Interop for IShellFolder
[ComImportAttrib ute()]
[GuidAttribute(" 000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")]
[InterfaceTypeAt tribute(ComInte rfaceType.Inter faceIsIUnknown)]
//helpstring("ISh ellFolder interface")
private interface IShellFolder
{
void ParseDisplayNam e(
IntPtr hwndOwner,
IntPtr pbcReserved,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPWStr )] string lpszDisplayName ,
out int pchEaten,
out IntPtr ppidl,
out int pdwAttributes);

void EnumObjects(
IntPtr hwndOwner,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.U4)] ESHCONTF grfFlags,
ref IEnumIDList ppenumIDList
);

void BindToObject(
IntPtr pidl,
IntPtr pbcReserved,
ref Guid riid,
ref IShellFolder ppvOut);

thanks

You would have to put it into its own project and compile it as its own dll.
Then reference it from your VB project.

Add a C# project of type "Class Library" to your solution, then insert the
code into the C# project and add a reference to the C# project in your
VB.NET project. It's not possible to mix different programming languages in
a single project.

And don't than forget in the added C# Project to set the general properties
"output type" to Class Library and do a build for that before you set the
reference in your VB project.

I hope this helps?

ps. Herfried I had this from an other message half an hour ago.
