Change language in web app

[suityou01]

I have created a web app in VS2005, and jumped through all of the hoops necessary to connect it so SourceSafe. The problem is I have created a C# based web app and the source code I am harvesting is VB.Net

How do I go about switching languages now I have created the project?

hmm, maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick but if the code was originally in VSS why couldn't you just get it from there? You shouldn't have to create a new project first.

You mean you have an existing solution in VSS - you've created a new C (cant find hash symbol on my Mac keyboard) project locally and you want to add the code from the VB VSS project to it?

Really as has been said, you'd normally open directly from Sourcesafe. But if you want to know how to convert the new project from C Sharp to VB then don't, there's a load of designer generated code in there, just delete it and create a new one.

edited - just looked again, where the hell is the # symbol on a Mac, am i blind!!

edited - found it #! Press Alt + 3, not obvious because it only shows a £ on the key.

You can mix and match .NET languages of course. Just stick all the VB stuff in a DLL project.

With ASP.NET 2.0 you can actually mix and match VB and C# pages in the same website (they will be compiled into seperate assemblies when the project is built).

I have just noticed you can specify default website language for a website in the solution file (via a text editor), which I'd guess will only be used to auto select VB when you're adding a new file to the web site. This might be the setting you are looking for.
