    Re: Adding C#-Code to VB-Project in VS 2005 without using DLL

    Now there's a question and a half Seth :)

    Have you finished the preprocessor yet? :)

    How would you envisage it resolving something like:

    #Visual Basic

    Public Class Foo

    #End Visual Basic

    #Visual Basic

    Public X As Integer

    Public Sub VBFoo

    x += 1

    End Sub

    #End Visual Basic

    #CSharp

    public int x;

    public void CSharpFoo()
    {
    x++;
    }

    #CSharp

    #Visual Basic

    End Class

    #End Visual Basic

    In VB.NET, variable names are case-insensitive, so, logically the dummy
    would be spat because VB.Net can;t handle 2 variables with the same name
    having the same scope.

    In C#, however, variable names are case-sensitive, so, X and x declared
    having the same scope is perfectly legal.

    The point here is that such a preprocessor, to be of any value would need to
    break the rules of one language to allow the rules of the other language,
    and, immediately, that need negates any value that such a preprocessor might
    have.

        Finished? I haven't even started! (and probably won't)

        :-)
        How would you envisage it resolving something like:
        <snip>

        Good point Stephany, I didn't really think it through - it was just a
        thought that I had while reading this thread. Perhaps a class level
        attribute that declares the entire class contents in a certain
        language would resolve these issues, but that kind of defeats the
        purpose (not to mention the "coolness" factor) doesn't it?.

        By the way, how exactly would one find how to go about writing
        something like this? Also, unless you rewrite the ide you would
        probably lose intellisense and many other special features/keywords,
        not to mention the error checking.

        Thanks,

        Seth Rowe

            Re: Adding C#-Code to VB-Project in VS 2005 without using DLL

            I just reccomend using Dreamweaver; and a single language

            Avoid unnecessary complexities.

            C# was _NEVER_INVENTED _ that is my strategy
            until MS takes VB seriously they can lick my nuts
