VB.NET OVERVIEW
- VB.NET is a simple, multi-paradigm object-oriented programming language designed to
create a wide range of Windows, Web, and mobile applications built on the .NET
Framework.
What is VB.NET?
- The VB.NET stands for Visual Basic. Network Enabled Technologies.
- It is a simple, high-level, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft in
2002.
- It is a successor of Visual Basic 6.0 that is implemented on the Microsoft .NET framework.
- It supports the OOPs concept, such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and
polymorphism.
- It is not a case sensitive language, unlike C++, Java, and C# which are case sensitive language.
- Applications built using the VB.NET language are very reliable and scalable, relying on the
.NET Framework to access all libraries that help to execute a VB.NET program.
- Applications or programs developed in VB.NET can run on the window operating
system, Linux and Mac OS.
VB.NET Features
- It is a high-level programming language with many features to develop a secure and robust
application.
- Below are the features that make VB.NET a popular programming language.
o It is an object-oriented programming language that follows various OOP concepts such as
abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and many more. It means that everything in
VB.NET programming will be treated as an object.
, o This language is used to design user interfaces for window, mobile, and web-based
applications.
o It supports a rapid application development tool kit. In which a developer does not need to
write all the codes as it can get various code automatically from its libraries. For example,
when we create a form in Visual basic.net, it automatically calls events of various form in
that class.
o It is not a case sensitive language like other languages such as C++, java, etc.
o It supports Boolean condition for decision making in programming.
o It supports the multithreading concept, in which one can do multiple tasks at the same time.
o It provides simple events management in .NET application.
o It uses an external object as a reference that can be used in a VB.NET application.
o Automatic initialized a garbage collection.
o It follows a structured and extensible programming language for error detection and
recovery.
o Conditional compilation and easy to use generic classes.
o It is useful to develop web, window, and mobile applications.
Advantages of VB.NET
The VB.NET executes a program in such a way that runs under CLR (Common Language
Runtime), creating a robust, stable, and secure application.
It is a pure object-oriented programming language based on objects and classes.
Using the Visual Studio IDE, one can develop a small program that works faster, with a large
desktop and web application.
The .NET Framework is a software framework that has a large collection of libraries, which
helps in developing more robust applications.
It uses drop and drag elements to create web forms in .NET applications.
Visual Basic .NET allows to connect one application to another application created in the same
language to run on the .NET framework.
A VB.NET can automatically structure source code.
The Visual Basic .NET language cab be used to transfer data between different layers of the
.NET architecture such that data is passed as simple text strings.
