Can you write custom scripts in C#?

Hello All,

I was taking a look at some scripting options for One Identity customization, but I notice that Visual Basic /VB.NET is being used.  Is it possible to use C# and if not, I am curious as to why VB.net was chosen as the language to develop in.

    You can only use C# directly for customizing the Web Portal or in synchronization projects that are using C# as configured language.

    The main reasons for using VB(.NET) instead of C# are that VB is easier to understand for people that are not programming each day and secondly for historical reasons. A former version (or architecture) of the product was based on COM+ and used Visual Basic Scripting as configuration platform.

    If you want to use C# in templates, formatting scripts, processes or scripts you need to provide your code in a custom DLL that can then called by the VB code snippets inside of OneIM.
