Programming in Visual Basic

July 19, 2010

Programming in Visual Basic is a combination of visually arranging components or controls on a form and specifying attributes & actions of those components & writing extra lines of code for more functionality. The characteristics of Visual Basic are relatively strong integration with the Windows operating system & the Component Object Model, logical & bitwise operators are unified and integers are automatically promoted to real expression. The final release was version 6 in 1998. The Visual Basic editions prior to VB.NET include versioning problems associated with various runtime DLLs, poor support for object-oriented programming, Inability to create Windows services, dependency on complex and fragile COM Registry entries, etc.
