Visual Basic
Introduction
to Visual Basic
Visual Basic is
a programming language and development environment created by Microsoft.
Visual Basic
provides a graphical user interface GUI that allows the developer drag and drop
objects into the program as well as manually write program code.
Visual Basic,
also referred to as "VB," is designed to make software development
easy and efficient

Guo Interface: - VB is a Graphical User Interface
language. This means that a VB program will always show something on the screen
that the user can interact with to get a job done.
Modularization: - It is considered good programming
practice to modularize your programs. Small modules where it is clearly
indicated what comes into the module and what goes out makes a program easy to
understand.
Object Oriented: - Object Oriented Programming is a
concept where the programmer thinks of the program in "objects" that
interact with each other. Visual Basic forces this good programming practice.
Debugging: - Visual Basic offers two different options for
code debugging:- Debugging Managed Code Runtime Debugger The Debugging Managed
Code individually debugs C and C++ applications and Visual Basic Windows
applications. The Runtime Debugger helps to find and fix bugs in programs at
runtime.
Data Access Feature: - By using data access features, we can
create databases, scalable server-side components for most databases, including
Microsoft SQL Server and other enterprise-level database.
