Question

I am developing a GUI based application in MS Visual Studio 2005, I just want to
know if it is possible to use both VB.NET and C# in the same project. Or can I include a module written in C# in my VB.NET project?

I have a class written in C# which I want to use in my VB.NET based project, so if I can include and call functions from that project than I won’t have to write the class again in VB.NET.

So please help me as I am new to .NET programming.

I’ve never done it myself, but I know you can compile the C# code into a dll and then load and reference the dll in your VB project.

From “Calling C# class in VB.net”:

I think the C# code that you want to
use must be compiled as a DLL. Once
that is done, simple add a reference
to that project to your VB.Net
project, import the namespace you
need, and then you can use the C#
code.
