I have class file e.g. Crypto.vb which is written in VB.Net.
I want to use definition from this Crypto.vb into my windows form(WPF) code in C#.

I have no option i.e. build when I right click, so can't add reference of it.

Please help.

Solution 1

1) Add a VB.Net class libary project to your solution.
2) Add the Crypto.vb file to the class library project(Newly created VB.Net Project).
3) Add a reference in your Windows Forms application (C# Project) to your vb.net class library project (VB.Net Project).
4) Use the Crypto class in your Windows Forms application (C# Project).

To summarize the action -
Currently you are having solution with single C# project in it.
After change you will have two projects in your solution. One with VB.net and the other in C#.

+5, updated the answer so that this user might get what you mean.

Sorry, I don't get what you mean? Why are you trying to build an individual file?

No one has that option on class file. You can build project/solution - NOT THE CLASS FILES.
