I have not done that much. Once i had either a couple of files or Webpages 
written in vb and C#. The files just had the .vb and .cs extensions and when 
the project compiled it translated them. Other than that I'm not sure how it 
would work. I work in the Express modules which are for one language. I guess 
Visual Studio would have facillities to handle that since it has multiple 
languages but I'm not sure how you would implement it.
I know that whichever language you use it is converted into IML which is the 
same for all the .net languages. Likely the compiler reads the file extension 
and converts the source code to IML based on a translator for that language and 
then the IML is merged to create the finished translated code.

  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.
