Using a VB ASP script on a C# ASPX page? - 7/26/2008 11:45:02
Hello!
The title almost says it all, but here's more detail. I currently have an ASP page coded with VB, which is pulling data from another ASP(VB) page/program (over which I have no control). I have a new ASPX page coded in C#, which I need to use the above ASP VB script on. I should also mention that the script has to run at the server-side.
Here's the thing: I've tried converting the ASP VB script to C# using some of the free online conversion tools available, but it hasn't worked for me so far (if I knew more about C# I guess I could do the conversion myself, but my C#/programming study has been sidelined at the moment by my study for CIW certification). That may be due to my own stumbling around. It may also not work even if I do get it converted properly because the page/program it is pulling data from, as mentioned, is coded in VB and I'm not allowed to change that and I don't know whether a C# script can interact with a VB script like that anyway.
Can anyone suggest how I may be able to run this VB script on my C# ASP page? Can I have it in a code block within the content area of the page ("<%" and "%>") and somehow specify it there as VB, or do I need to place it in the header as a "<script>" block specified as VB, and somehow refer to that script down within the content area of my ASPX page where I need the content produced by the script to appear?
Suggestions/solutions would be most appreciated. If you need me to post code, I can do so, though I figured my question is general enough that it wasn't really necessary...
Thanks!

Hi Will,
Don't know if you solved this but sometimes these VB.NET scripts can be built as classes, dropped into the App_Code folder, and added to the project as a Reference. It can be a little tricky sometimes but these Referenced Classes used like this should expose all the objects and methods to the C# code just like any other referenced object: dll, COM, what have you.
Did that make any sense? See, you don't put it on the page directly but build a separate .VB page with classes, put it in the App_Code folder, and add it to your project. One of the best features of the .NET framework is exactly that; being able to write portions of code in whatever language and being able to use those objects (variables, data, etc.) in any of the other languages.
Hope it helps.
