Visual Basic 2008 Tutorial
Lesson1: Introduction
Visual Basic 2008 is one of the latest versions of Visual Basic launched by Microsoft in
2008. The latest version is Visual Basic 2010, launched this year. VB2008 is almost similar to
Visual Basic 2005 but it has added many new features. Visual Basic 2008 is a full fledged
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Language, so it has caught up with other OOP languages
such as C++, Java,C# and others. However, you don't have to know OOP to learn VB2008. In
fact, if you are familiar with Visual Basic 6, you can learn VB2008 effortlessly because the
syntax and interface are similar. Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition is available free for
download from the Microsoft site. (OOP will be explained in Chapter 4). This
The Integrated Development Environment when you launch VB2008 Express is shown in the diagram
below. The IDE consists of a few panes, namely:
The Recent Projects Pane- it shows the list of projects that have been created by you recently.
The Getting Started Pane- It provides some helpful tips to quickly develop your applications.
The VB Express Headlines pane- It provides latest online news about Visual Basic 2008 Express.
It will announce new releases and updates
To start creating your first application, you need to click on file and select new project. The following
VB2008 New Project dialog box will appear.
The dialog box offers you five types of projects that you can create. As we are going to learn to create
windows Applications, we will select Windows Forms Application.
At the bottom of this dialog box, you can change the default project name WindowsApplication1 to some
other name you like, for exampe, MyFirstProgram. After you have renamed the project, click OK to
continue. The following IDE Windows will appear, it is almost similar to Visual Basic 6. It consists of an
empty form, the common controls toolbox, the solution explorer and the properties.
Now I am showing you how to create your first program. First of all, drag one common button
into the form and change its default name to calculate.
Next, click on the calculate button and key in the following code at the source code window as shown
below.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
Button1.Click
Dim num1, num2, sum As Single
num1 = 100
num2 = 200
sum = num1 + num2
MsgBox(" The Sum of " & num1 & " and " & num2 & " is " & sum)
End Sub
Now run your first application! And you can see the follow message box showing the sum of two
numbers.
