Is it possible to use VB.NET forms in a C# project?

[DayLaborer]

Someone in my team at work designed a mock-up of an app in VB.NET. The decision has been made to implement the project in C#. Is it possible to use the VB.NET forms in the C# solution?

If so, how?

Thanks,
Eliezer

forms" ?
You mean windows or web - forms ?

If it is a web project, you can add a new webpage and specify the language (VB or C#).
If it is a windows project, then try to create it as a dll and add its reference to the vb.net project you have. Else, compile it and view it with a reflector e.g. roetz .net assembly disassembler. The methods will be in C#.


Hope those help

you can right click on your project and select "Add an Existing Item" you may have to change some code around on each forms code behind. it may be more trouble then it's worth.

TipGiver,

Thanks for your reply. It's a Windows app.

We don't even need the code behind (the code is almost not there - it's a mock-up) - we just want to use the forms (i.e. with a bizillion controls lined up correctly to the pixel). What's the simplist way to do this?

Thanks!

There are many converters are available either shareware or free tools to convert vb.net to c#. You can use those tools to convert the Winforms and code. Just try Google for 'VB.NET to C# converter'.

Sharing the best from my side...

Prashant, I found such shareware - but was wondering if I really need to do that or if there's an easier route.

Kris, no, it's remaining a Windows form.

Thanks,

In that case ask the question in one of the forums suggested above as this isn't an ASP.NET issue.
