1113941	2010-06-27 20:53:00	I have some C# code that I want to call another tool which is written in VB. Will this work? Or will I need to convert one of them to the other?? If I need to convert, anyone know of an easy way to do this? I'm not familiar enough with either language at this stage... Thanks, Mike.	Mike (15)

Yup - that's one of the benefits of .NET.	somebody (208)
