Quoted from A Brief Introduction To IL code, CLR, CTS, CLS and JIT In .NET

CLS stands for Common Language Specifications. It is a subset of CTS. CLS is a set of rules or guidelines which if followed ensures that code written in one .NET language can be used by another .NET language. For example one rule is that we cannot have member functions with same name with case difference only i.e we should not have add() and Add(). This may work in C# because it is case-sensitive but if try to use that C# code in VB.NET, it is not possible because VB.NET is not case-sensitive.

Based on above text I want to confirm two points here:

  1. Does the case-sensitivity of IL is a condition for member functions only, and not for member properties?
  2. Is it true that C# wouldn't be inter-operable with VB.NET if it didn't take care of the case sensitivity?
