c# and vb classes can be used in same asp.net 2 application

It is possible in asp.net 2 that c# an vb.net classes can be used in same project

All class files are contained in \app_Code folder which is compiled into single assembly.

It is possible that classes placed in same folder causes error. So make different folders in \app_data such as “vbclasses” and “c#classes”

    

\ App_Code              

                         \ vbclasses

                          \ c#classes

  

            

 now places  vb and c# classes in their respective folders as

\ App_Code              

                         \ vbclasses

                              someClass.vb

                          \ c#classes

                                 otherClass.cs

   

now we have to add some lines in web.config under the compilation key

<compilation>
   <codeSubDirectories>
      <add directoryName=”vbclasses”></add>
      <add directoryName=”c#classes”></add>
   </codeSubDirectories>
</compilation> 

now asp.net compile the code in single assembly and we can use the implementation of code placed in vb or c# class in our application without specifying their extensions
