3
Why Visual Basic

• Fastest and easiest way to create


applications for Microsoft Windows
– Complete set of tools which simplify the
creation of the graphical user interface
– Rapid prototyping tool
• Internet capabilities (VBScript language)
• It can be used as a tool to develop front-
end applications for database systems
• Microsoft estimate that there are over 3
million VB developers world wide
4
Visual Basic Modes

• Design Mode
– Placing, arranging, and customizing the appearance of buttons,
labels, and other controls on a form.
– Writing processing scripts (source code).
– Saving the solution.
– Making an executable file.
• Run Mode
– Executes the solution.
– Used to evaluate the workability of a part of the project.
– Used to show the user how the solution will work.
• Break Mode
– Helps the developer with debugging.
– Enables the developer to switch back to run mode or design
mode.
