NET Introduction and Basics


1. Introduction to VB.NET
VB.NET (Visual Basic .NET) is a multi-paradigm, object-oriented programming language
implemented on the .NET framework. It was developed by Microsoft to combine the ease of
Visual Basic with the power of the .NET framework.

2. Why Use VB.NET?


VB.NET is easy to learn and is designed for rapid application development. It is commonly
used for developing Windows applications, web applications, and services. Some key
features include:
- Simple syntax and structure.
- Full integration with the .NET framework.
- Large library of pre-built code.

3. Basic Syntax

3.1. Variables and Data Types


In VB.NET, variables are used to store data. You need to declare a variable before using it.
Common data types include Integer, String, Double, Boolean, etc.

Example:
Dim number As Integer = 10
Dim name As String = "Hello"

3.2. Conditional Statements


VB.NET supports If...ElseIf...Else statements for decision-making.
Example:
If number > 0 Then
Console.WriteLine("Positive")
Else
Console.WriteLine("Non-positive")
End If

3.3. Loops
Loops are used to execute a block of code multiple times. Common loops in VB.NET include
For, While, and Do...Loop.
Example:
For i As Integer = 1 To 5
Console.WriteLine(i)
Next

4. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


VB.NET is an object-oriented programming language, which means it supports the four
pillars of OOP: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction.

5. Creating a Simple VB.NET Program


Here's a basic example to create a simple VB.NET console application:
Module HelloWorld
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module

6. Conclusion
This introduction covers the basic concepts of VB.NET. With these fundamentals, you can
start building simple applications. As you progress, you'll explore more advanced topics
such as error handling, file I/O, and working with databases.
