    C# & VB in same project.

    Hello,
    with VS2005 BETA, is it possible to use multiple languages in the same
    project? For instance, can i have project with certain classes
    implemented in VB and others with implemented built in C#?

    thanks

      I don't know the answer, but why would you want to? Why not pick one
      language, and just go with that? They are virtually identical in
      functionality.

      And if you do have a situation where you need to use one of them for a
      particular class, but the other for everything else, is it really so
      difficult to just have 2 projects?

          Ideally, that would be true...but, we don't always have a choice when
          time is factored in.

          i am aware of my options to solve the problem. However, the easiest
          solution would be if the environment did support multiple languages, as
          advertised(?). That is the question i am hoping someone may be able to
          answer.

              I'm sure you can write an MSbuild script that invokes both the C# and
              the VB compiler, but I'm not sure how VS would react to it. The VS
              project system is still very much centered around one language per
              project.

              Of course, even if you did this you'd end up with two binaries, just
              like you would with two separate projects.
