Visual Basic Notes Print

Visual Basic has evolved over time from VB1 in 1991 to VB.NET in 2001 to current versions like VB15.0. VB.NET syntax is based on the Basic programming language, which makes it relatively easy to understand. VB.NET is commonly used to create event-driven Windows programs that have a graphical user interface with elements like forms, buttons, and text boxes. An integrated development environment provides facilities for writing, compiling, and testing VB.NET code. Solutions and projects organize the files that make up a VB.NET application.

What are some of the elements you expect to see in a Windows program?

Window (form), button, textbox, label, radio button, checkbox, dropdown list box
• Master VB.NET and you master programming the Windows interface, which is the most popular user
interface in the world (by far!)

Event-Driven Computer Programs with a Graphical User Interface

► Most Visual Basic 2015 programs are event-driven programs that communicate with the user
through a graphical user interface (GUI)

• A GUI usually consists of a window, containing a variety of objects.

► An event means the user has initiated an action that causes the program to perform a type of
processing in response.

Random Access Memory (RAM)

- It holds the data or instructions that the CPU is presently processing. RAM is called temporary or
volatile storage because everything in most types of RAM is lost as soon as the microcomputer is
turned off or the power disrupted.

Read only memory (ROM)

A ROM chip is a memory chip that stores instructions and data permanently. Its contents are placed into
the ROM chip at the time of manufacture and cannot be modified by the user. A CPU can read and
retrieve the instructions and data from the ROM chip, but it cannot change the contents in ROM. ROM
chips usually contain special instructions for computer operations such as ROM BIOS. ROMs are also
called firmware. The variations on the ROM chip include PROM, EPROM and EEPROM.

IDE (Intergraded Development Environment)


- is a software application that provides facilities such as source code editing, compilation etc. to
assist software developers efficiently develop computer programs.

► Contains all the features needed to create, run, and test programs

► Editor for entering program instructions

► Compiler for running and testing program

► Allows creation of Web-based and Windows-based applications

► Solution .sln

► Container for project and files for application

► Project .vbproj

► Container for storing files associated with a specific piece of the application
