You can use a component compiled in VB in a C# project, and vice versa, but you can't mix the source code, no.
Familiarity compiles contempt. :sick:
Using two separate DLLs to achieve the same thing brings in unnecessary complexity, if they need to interact. Familiarity in one language would imply familiarity in the other. I'm working in C# right now, although I'm pro-VB.NET. No problem yet has strangled me. :)
In Visual Studio .NEXT (2005?) you will have the ability to have VB and C# code files in the same project. Right now, you need two seperate projects (one a vb, and the other a C#).
I REALLY think that it is a horrible idea. The only way I would think about making that work would be to have the VB guy do all the form coding, and the C# guy doing a library on the back side that the form code talks to. That is proper seperation anyway, but damn, two different languages! UGHH!
Effectively they're nearly not separate languages though - they both compile to the same CLR.
Might as well code in MSIL then ;)
