Using multiple web projects with different languages in Visual Studio

Question

I need to combine a VB web project and a C# web project and have them run alongside each other in the same web root. For instance, I need to be able to navigate to localhost:1234/vbProjPage.aspx and then redirect to localhost:1234/cSharpProjPage.aspx. Is this possible from within Visual Studio 2008?

I know you have the ability to create a web site and throw everything into the root, but it would be best in this scenario to keep each project separate from each other.

UPDATE: To answer Wes' question, it is possible but not desirable to change paths like that (/vb/vbPage.aspx & /cs/csPage.aspx)

UPDATE: Travis suggested using sub-web projects. This link explains how to do it: http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2006/07/01/652986.aspx but the solution involves putting a project inside of a project - that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I need the projects physically separated. Mario (31 seconds ago)

Answer 1

I don't think you'll be able to have two seperate projects but intermixing them within one project isn't a problem. You could always organize the files into folder to keep things seperate if you felt the need.

Answer 2

You can do this using sub-web projects. This has been available in Visual Studio since 2005 and works with the Web Application Project style of web site. ScottGu has a great blog entry describing the process. You may face some interesting challenges getting pages to commingle in the same folder, but the sub-web project structure should still lend you some ideas.

Answer 3

Just out of curiosity, would changing your url paths be out of the question? Instead of 1234/vbpage and 1234/cspage how about something like 1234/vb/page and 1234/cs/page ? I know you said same web root, but I'm just curious :)

Answer 4

you could use URL re-writting with a filter to look for "cs" or "vb" at the begining of each file and direct it to the appropriate directory.
