Can I use spark in a vb.net app

[Detroitpro]

If so, are there any changes that I are specific to vb?

[Louis DeJardin]

Not yet, but that's something which should be possible eventually.

I've have not really used the spark syntax but I was able to get the engine & html helpers. I just use C# in the view...seems to work well enough in a VB.NET project.

Do you see any potential problems with spark as it relates to being in a vb.net project?

That's true, if you're okay with using C# in the view you should be fine. The view is compiled as csharp code and the references to the web app's output assembly - it's all managed types and IL at that point so doesn't really matter which language produced the assembly.

Now that you mention it, I think someone recently posted a video showing how to add spark to a vb.net mvc app. ;)

I sure did :)

I thought it would be possible and work just fine. wanted to double
check here to see if you hand an thoughts/pitfalls before I posted the
video....

I think I'll end up doing a few more...feel free to link to it from
the spark site...or not if it sucks ;)

I'm detroitpro on twitter too.

Thanks.
