Introduction To VB.NET
What is Visual Basics.NET?
VB.NET stands for Visual Basic.NET, and it is a computer programming
language developed by Microsoft. It was first released in 2002 to replace
Visual Basic 6. VB.NET is an object-oriented programming language. This
means that it supports the features of object-oriented programming which
include encapsulation, polymorphism, abstraction, and inheritance.
VB.NET Features
VB.NET is not case sensitive like other languages such as C++ and
Java.
It is an object-oriented programming language. It treats everything as
an object.
Automatic code formatting, XML designer, improved object browser
etc.
Garbage collection is automated.
Support for Boolean conditions for decision making.
VB.NET Features
Simple multithreading, allowing your apps to deal with multiple tasks simultaneously.
Simple generics.
A standard library.
Events management.
References. You should reference an external object that is to be used in a VB.NET application.
Attributes, which are tags for providing additional information regarding elements that have been defined within a program.
Windows Forms- you can inherit your form from an already existing form.
Advantages of VB.NET
o Your code will be formatted automatically.
o You will use object-oriented constructs to create an enterprise-class
code.
o You can create web applications with modern features like
performance counters, event logs, and file system.
o You can create your web forms with much ease through the visual
forms designer. You will also enjoy drag and drop capability to replace
any elements that you may need.
o You can connect your applications to other applications created in
languages that run on the .NET framework.
o You will enjoy features like docking, automatic control anchoring, and
in-place menu editor all good for developing web applications.
Disadvantages of VB.NET
o VB.NET cannot handle pointers directly. This is a significant
disadvantage since pointers are much necessary for programming. Any
additional coding will lead to many CPU cycles, requiring more
processing time. Your application will become slow.
o VB.NET is easy to learn. This has led to a large talent pool. Hence, it
may be challenging to secure a job as a VB.NET programmer.
