    VB to C#

    I have a question.

    Currently my Visual Studios 2008 has its main language and setup setup as
    vb.net

    I want to ( temporarily ) switch it to compile and do things as if it was a
    C# or C++ compiler and work area.

    What would I need to change to do this?

    and then change it back?

    -Or is this even possible
    Thanks,

    Miro

      Re: VB to C#

      When you create a new project, you can choose the language you wish the new
      project to be in. After that choice is made, that project will compile
      using the correct compiler.

      So, all you have to do is make a new project, but select from the "other
      languages" node of the new project dialog box.

      If you want the language change to be more perminent, go to the Tools menu
      and choose "Import and Export Settings". Then choose "Reset all settings",
      then close Visual Studio and re-open it. When it re-opens, you'll be able
      to select the primary programming language.

          Thank you,

          I was trying to do it within a project already open and could not find a
          "switch" button.

          Creating a 'new project' was exactly what I was looking for.

          Thank you,

          Miro

              You cannot switch languages within a project because the various items in
              your project compile down to a single assembly file. As such all items
              within a single project must use a single .NET language.

              You could have one solution that contains different projects and each
              project could be written in a different .NET language.

                  Thats perfect.
                  -I'm to new to visual studios still to know - but I thought there was a way
                  to have a c# class called by vb.net
                  ( i know if a class is written in vb.net you shouldnt use "optional"
                  paramters ), but with my top statement, im assuming by your reply that that
                  class must be in a C# project to be called?

                  I am expecting to get some code from someone that will be in C# to try to
                  debug it, and I was just getting ready to see how to 'open' and play with
                  the c# files.

                  I dont plan to re-write it ( maybe fix it ) but at least debug it to where
                  the problem lies.

                  Thanks for all your help.

                      A C# assembly can be called from a VB .NET assembly (and vice versa), but C#
                      source code cannot be called by VB .NET source code (and vice versa).

                      This is why (if you want to do this), you need to have 2 different projects
                      in one solution. Each project compiles down to its own assembly, and thus a
                      class in one assembly can be used by another assembly (after the first
                      assembly makes a reference to the other).
