Can C# code and Java code be written in same project.

Question

Hi, I wanted to know whether java code and c# code can be merged together in same project. Whether it will compile.

Depends on what your java library does and if it uses many third party components, but thanks to IKVM you could compile a jar file into a .NET assembly. I've used this approach to incorporate the xhtmlrenderer java library into a C# application with success. https://www.gangboard.com/app-programming-scripting-training/core-java-training https://www.gangboard.com/database-training/oracle-dba-training https://www.gangboard.com/app-programming-scripting-training/dot-net-training

Thanks for the suggesation Ketan and vinay Ji. It is useful for me. I understand that java code will compile in dot net. But whether dot net will take care of the both of the code (c# and java) in single project. Or I want to say somethng like in one solution file we can add multiple projects. Suppose I have two solution file (c# and java)) inside one base solution file. Can we build the base solution file or can we deploy or compile the project. Could you please elaborate more on this.
