can I re-use vb usercontrol in my c# web application

[Guest]

using VS2005

I need to break a couple of pages out of a VB web app into its own. These
pages load a number of UserControls into a placeholder.

I want the new web app to be c# but will write in vb. How do I re-use these
controls?

Compile your user controls into a user control library.

Scott Guthrie explains how to do this here:
http://webproject.scottgu.com/CSharp/UserControls/UserControls.aspx

and here:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/28/423888.aspx

Since now your user controls are compiled, there's no language conflict.

Juan,

The first link was perfect. One thing the author left out was that the
CodeBehind/CodeFile attribute must be removed from the ascx pages.

This could happen with wsh file running a regex replace on *.ascx pages in
the pre-build action.
