  Understand if you are using all .net languages it compiles down to a stack 
based language called ILasm which you can also write in.  don't be fooled by 
the asm part of ILASM its a simple stack based almost script like language that 
all and I mean all .net languages compile to.  Then that is jit compiled into 
to whatever magic Microsoft does in their binary like interpreter.

   

  Now if you're talking two languages like let's say Pascal and C++ then the 
compiler compiles it to an object and the linker takes the two objects and 
links them.  so you would have a c++ object and a pascal object.  Sometimes 
when linking two languages you have to make sure the arguments compile into to 
the right format so you can link them together but that's all there is to it.  
Now if you're talking Gcc style compilers all languages compile to c first so 
if you use gcc's fortran compile it first compiles it to c then makes a c 
object.

  Hi,

  I'm one of these people who still thinks computers are part magic. How does 
it work when you have two languages in one program. Do you have two files?

   

  Thanks.

  lol -- imagine COBOL.NET -- sounds like an oxy moron...

  I think you are right, although the languages should be able to support OO 
style in order to integrate .NET.

  and if you have multiple languages in one program, you have to be sure you 
interface correctly to take into account calling conventions -- passing by 
value vs by reference, handling of arrays, etc.

    Hi,

    Am I getting the right impression about this? From what I'm reading, you 
can pick many different languages. They all use the .Net Framework Classes. 
Therefore, it only matters which language you use if you are working in an 
environment where that language is used. For example, if you work somewhere and 
they use C# with .net, then you'd want to learn C#. If you worked or had fun 
somewhere in which they use VB.Net, then you'd want to learn that language. The 
same would apply if you wanted to use Python in the .Net environment. You could 
use Python, but you'd be able to access the classes in the .Net framework, but 
with Python. And the same would go for Cobol, assuming there is some sort of 
Cobol something that uses .Net. Is that anywhere in the ball park?

     

    Thanks.
