• Visual C# move to c#

  Hi, I have been asked to convince the IT director that we should really be moving to c# instead of vb.net Any tips on this particular topic please Thanks Hi!

• .NET Development Issue with multiple programming languages in App_Code folder

  I have an ASP.NET web application that is primarily using C#. According to this article ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t990ks23.aspx ) multiple programming languages are possible.

  Is there a way to create control events with C# (other than manipulating the code manually) I saw there is a way in VB, but in C#...
