Visual Basic
Visual Basic allows you to quiclky build applications for Microsoft Windows, the web, web compatable handheld devices and Microsoft Office, all built on the .NET Framework.
Visual Basic helps developers to focus on the task that they are solving. It aids developers in writing their code through features like IntelliSense, Code Snippets, and AutoCorrect and in debugging their code with a debugger that allows developers to make changes to running code without stopping and restarting the process. The Visual Basic language is designed to be human readable and accessible to everyone from novice programmers to advanced system architects. All of this is built on top of the .NET Framework, which guarantees that programs written in Visual Basic run reliably and with scalability. Programs written in Visual Basic will interoperate seamlessly with programs written in any other .NET languages such as Visual C#, Visual J#, or Visual C++.
.NET Framework and Visual Studio
Developers often ask what the .NET Framework and Visual Studio are and how they relate to Visual Basic.
The .NET Framework is a development and execution environment that allows different programming languages and libraries to work together seamlessly to create applications for Microsoft Windows, the web, web compatable handheld devices and Microsoft Office. Applications that are easier to build, manage, deploy, and integrate with other networked systems or as stand-alone applications.
The .NET Framework consists of:
- The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
A language-neutral development and execution environment that provides services to help "manage" application execution.
- The Framework Class Libraries (FCL)
A consistent, object-oriented library of prepackaged functionality.
Visual Studio is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that developers work use when creating programs in one of many languages, including Visual Basic, for the .NET Framework. Earlier versions of Visual Basic, Visual Basic 6.0 and earlier, combined both the IDE and the Visual Basic language into one application. With the introduction of Visual Studio 2002, and continued in the current release, the Visual Basic language is now a first-class citizen in the Visual Studio IDE. |
