VB.NET - OVERVIEW
Visual Basic . NET (VB. NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language implemented on the . NET
Framework. Although it is an evolution of classic Visual Basic language, it is not backwards-compatible with VB6, and any code written in the old version does not compile under VB. NET.
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. All objects inherits from the base class Object.
VB. NET is implemented of Microsoft' s . NET framework. Therefore it has full access all the libraries in the . 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.
The following reasons make VB. Net a widely used professional language:
Modern, general purpose.
Object oriented.
Component oriented.
Easy to learn.
Structured language.
It produces efficient programs.
It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
Part of . Net Framework.
Strong Programming Features VB.Net
