Can I call c# class from vb.net? 1

[NearAway]

hello,

I have imported a c# object into my vb.net probject, but I can't find a way to call the c# class.

I can call another vb module just fine however. There must be something significant I'm missing. I tried:

Imports classname, and
imports namespace.classname, and

calling the class directly from vb code:

classname.methodname

but nothing has worked and I'm stumped.

I did some searching and I didn't find an answer to this problem yet. Any ideas?

many thanks

Did you put the DLL in the references for the project. In Solution Explorer, Right-click on "References" under the Project and click on Add Reference. Imports are stll needed for namespaces.

Hi John, thanks for you input. I did try that, but the c# class isn't a dll, I have added it as a class module in my vb app. I can see and edit the c# class in the .net solution explorer, and it's got the c# icon next to it, just like how my vb modules have the vb icon next to them. Also, the project builds without errors.

The c# class is just like another module. I can see it but I can't call any of the methods of it. thanks

NearAway,

You can not mix vb.net and c# classes in the same project. You can divide your code into seperate projects. Create a vb project with its own dll and a c# project with its own dll. You will then need to create a reference in the vb to the c# project. This should allow you access to the c# code.
