The foundation of VB.Net is Visual Basic, a third-generation event-driven programming language released in 1987. Microsoft released the visual development language to be easy for beginners but powerful for experts. In December 2018, VB.Net was in the top five of languages used for programming. Based on the Windows .NET framework, compiled and object-oriented, it works well for office applications in small to medium organizations. Visual basic programming language allows programmers to create software interface and codes in an easy to use graphical environment. On the one hand it allows programmers to develop Windows based applications rapidly; on the other hand, it helps in accessing databases using ActiveX controls. While it is intended more to develop applications, it is flexible enough for game development in particular or limited purposes.

One of the most important things to be considered with regard to programming in VB.Net allows programmers to create executable code – Exe files, useful from front-end programs used to databases.

Advantages of Visual Basic

• A simple structure, particularly for executable code.
• VB is a language and an integrated, interactive development environment (“IDE”).
• Optimized to support rapid application development (“RAD”) to create graphical user interfaces and to connect them to handler functions provided by the application.
• Intuitively appealing views for the management of the program structure in the large and the various types of entities (classes, modules, procedures, forms,…).
• Provides a comprehensive interactive and context-sensitive online help system.
• Offers “IntelliSense” technology with popup windows to help guide text editing and recommend the types of constructs that may be entered at the current cursor location.
• Attuned to Microsoft’s Component Object Model (“COM”).
• Allows for COM components written in different languages to be integrated using VB.
• Interfaces of COM components can be easily called remotely via Distributed COM (“DCOM”), which makes it easy to construct distributed applications.
• COM components can be embedded in / linked to your application’s user interface and also in/to stored documents (Object Linking and Embedding “OLE”, “Compound Documents”).
• Readily available COM components for many different purposes.

VB.Net’s simple but powerful results can add up to more customizations in applications: variables, If statements, progress bars, text to speech tools, menu strips, radio bars and checkboxes, FTP uploads, email sends, advanced messagebox, web browser functions, application settings, comments, linked forms, listboxes, login forms, webpage source code, modules, classes, multithreading. In short, many interactive elements in web applications develop easily in VB.Net. For specific, high performing applications and functions, rely on Programmers.io developers to complete the job.
