Visual BASIC

History

Visual BASIC 1 appeared in 1991. It is starting from version 3, left in 1993 which he will know success.

Visual BASIC is an evolution of Basics precedents of Microsoft (Basica, GW BASIC, QBasic) which allows to create fenestrated applications and to practice the event-driven programming. Profiting from the simplicity of the original BASIC, it makes it possible to create programs relatively quickly. The programmer in Visual BASIC handles visual elements with the screen with which it any more but does not remain to associate code. One can develop with Visual BASIC all kinds of applications, which can in particular be integrated in the principal software Microsoft (Access, Excel, Word etc)

To version 4 of Visual BASIC, it was about a language interpreted, he then allowed the binary generation of code but with the need for always providing an additional file of run-time (a dynamic Bibliothèque, or DLL ).

Visual BASIC became a language directed object with version 7, more usually called Visual BASIC .NET, which can almost be regarded as a different product, so much the changes brought were important. The compatibility of the sources is broken and original philosophy of the BASIC (language for beginner) faded on the furnace bridge of the whole object. To function this last version requires the installation of the Framework Microsoft .NET instead of the Moteur of execution used to version 6.

To discover the evolutions and the ease of use of this language, Microsoft proposes since January 2006 a free version of Visual BASIC 2005 called Visual BASIC 2005 Express train Edition.
