LESSON
What is Visual Basic .NET?
Alan Cooper created a visual programming language in 1988. Visual Basic
(VB) is an object-oriented and visual programming and type-safe programming
language. Visual Basic language has its roots from the family of C languages such
as C, C++ and it is mostly similar to Java programming.
Visual Basic (VB) Programming language will allow developers to build a
variety of secure and strong applications which will run on .NET Framework.
Like all other .NET languages, VB.NET has complete support for object-
oriented concepts. Everything in VB.NET is an object, including all of the primitive
types (Short, Integer, Long, String, Boolean, etc.) and user-defined types, events,
and even assemblies.
VB.NET is implemented by Microsoft's .NET framework. It's also possible to
run VB.NET programs on Mono, the open-source alternative to .NET, not only
under Windows, but even Linux or Mac OSX.
Microsoft provides the following development tools for VB.Net programming −
Visual Studio 2010 (VS)
Visual Basic 2010 Express (VBE)
Visual Web Developer
The last two are free. Using these tools, you can write all kinds of VB.Net
programs from simple command-line applications to more complex applications.
Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer Express edition are trimmed down
versions of Visual Studio and has the same look and feel.
Features of Visual Basic .NET
VB contains various features that make it similar to other
programming languages such as Visual Basic, C#, C++, Jscript,
and COBOL, etc.
VB is a modern programming language and it is very powerful and
simple for building the applications.
VB is useful in developing windows, web and device applications.
Easy-to-use Generics
The VB IDE Start Page has following sections:
• The Start section has the New Project and Open Project commands that are
used to create a new project to open an existing project, respectively.
• The Recent section shows a list of a recently created projects.
• The Getting Started section provide links on how to build an application
using Visual Basic.
• The Announcement section provides latest online on how to build
news about Visual Studio.
• The Solution Explorer section shows the tree structure of all the
Windows files in your application.
