Just to expand on the previous poster's points:
All .Net Framework base languages are compiled down to a bytecode concoction known as MSIL or CIL
MSIL: Microsoft Intermediate Language
CIL: Common Intermediate Language
MSIL was what CIL was called back when the .Net Framework was in Beta
A VB.Net based control is converted to code behind the scenes by the IDE (Visual Studio or SharpDevelop, etc.) This code is then converted to CIL at compile time and interpreted by the .Net Framework's JIT (Just In Time) compiler into actual processor code at runtime. This means that languages using the .Net Framework are known as interpreted languages (which means they use a bytecode which is converted to processor code at runtime), as opposed to compiled languages (which produce processor code from the first base) like C++. This is why C++ and ASM is usually faster than C# and VB.Net
Anyway, the upshot of this commonly-compiled basecode is that the same code will compile down to the same bytecode, regardless of which language you write it in. This makes up half of a .Net Framework executable (assembly). Logically then, the metadata (the other half of an assembly) would also be the same. Therefore, we can say that if an algorithm is implemented identically in two .Net Framework languages, they will produce an identical output. So if you can add a reference to and use a VB-based control, you can also add a reference to and use a C#-based control. To all intents and purposes, they are identical

thank you for your detailed exaplaination.
Can I understand that .net languages (VB,c# and c++) are actually the combination of compilation and interpretation languages. because they are neither same as conventional pure complied language nor the pure interpretated languages. But it seems that c# is said always as complied language, does this mean that c# itself belong to compilation language but when it is used in .net framwork, it contains one part of interpretation process. or my understanding is wrong?
thanks again.

All languages that target the .NET CLR are compiled. There is no interpretative portion.
|

Odd; I remembered reading somewhere that the languages are interpreted. Are they compiled to bytecode and then JIT-interpreted into machine code at runtime by the framework?

That's just a non-common way to say it. Usually they say JIT-compiled. Which is more like what it does, since it takes the MSIL and compiles it (but at runtime, hence the "JIT")
Unless you use NGEN of course, then it's just compiled (not at runtime).
But anyway, the language itself (the syntax) doesn't mandate anything. You could take C# source and compile it straight down to native code. Several compilers which do exactly that are already available, but you usually lose something - such as the ability to use reflection or interoperability with .NET assemblies.
And that goes the other way too, one could write an interpreter for it. That's mostly useless though, why would you want to execute the program slow on purpose? It would usually be faster to compile it on the fly..

thanks, but from previous answers, it seems to me there are interpretation parts.
I am still not very clear. It is necessary to clarify this conecpt.

MSIL is the virtual assembly code for the CLR. It's comparable to Java's intermediary code. Both are not usually used except when disassembling. Usually the binary form (aka byte code) is used, which is what goes inside the assemblies.
The JIT compiler then reads the byte code and turns it (with some very complicated steps) into native x86 (or x64 or even Itanium2) code, and then lets the CPU run that.

Glad to disappoint - there is no interpretation going on at all.

You might very well want to mention C++/CLI instead! The native (the original) C++ does not mix with any of these (has nothing to do with the .NET framework).

I'm not sure in all of this if you got the full answer. Put your VB control in a dll, import the dll into your C# project, and it will work fine. You cannot mix languages in a single project.

Thanks for all the 1 votes to my posts in your thread. Good to see you finally;
1. Realized how screwed you are in programming
2. Admitted your malicious intent
3. Rised to the occasion to univote me.
4. Realized you can't trick people by reregistering your name
Looking forward to your future failures in the programming industry,

Sorry for confusing you - I assumed you were refering to Napoleons' lack of Frenchness by refering to Barcelona. Hence the Corsica reference, that being where NB was born.

Just ignore him. I reported him via the Microsoft MVPs I know last week, and they were delighted to get this information - I suspect they've been in touch with Chris; they do guard the MVP status rather well.

Do you know what, if any, action will be taken? Simply wondering out of curiosity. I would imagine that got them quite upset.

Knowing Microsoft they'll probably send Steve Balmer round to dance at him.
