use both C# and VB in ASP development

[dotNetFan]

I followed a Microsoft Webcast and constructed a Website. I have VB code in
the App_Code folder. Everything works. I learned that every time I change the
VB code in App_Code folder, it will be automatically re-compiled. Then I used
C# to write a public class and also put in the App_Code folder. I failed to
build with an error saying that I can not put 2 different language in the
same App_Code folder. So I created another folder called App_Code_c and had
my C# code put in there. When I build, I see the message saying my C# code is
complied, and without an error, but in my ASP code, I can not refer to the
class that is defined in my C# code. I can make my C# code work if I kick out
all the VB code in App_Code folder & only put C# code in App_Code.

How can I write some classes in C# and make them accessible in ASP which is
primarily composed with VB ?

Thanks.

Hello,

I think you may create two different project in one solution, for example,
a VB.NET ASP.NET project as the main project, and C# class library project
with your customized C# class. In the VB ASP.NET project, you can add a
reference to the C# project so that you can use the classes defined in the
C# project.

BTW, for ASP.NET issues, we usually post in following group:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
