    you can only compile files from the same language in each project (each
    exe,dll made can only be one language) as of .net 1.1 (vs.net 2003), now in
    VS 2005, you will be able to mix and compile different languages into the
    same project (have C++,C#,VB) all in the same exe file since the compilers
    are a lot smarter in the new version.
