    Uses of Visual basic.........

    AREA OF USE ?

    Using Visual Basic's tools we can quickly translate an abstract idea into a program design that we can actually see on the screen. VB encourages you to experiment, revise, correct, and network your design until the new project meets your requirements. However, most of all, it inspires your imagination and creativity. Visual Basic is ideal for developing applications that run on the Windows operating system. Developing applications with VB can be said to be a 3-step approach:

    i) Design the appearance of application
    ii) ***ign property settings to the objects of the program
    iii) Write the code to direct specific tasks at runtime

    Visual Basic is used to develop applications in a number of different areas. Some of them are listed below:


    Accounting

    Business

    Commerce

    Consulting

    Education

    Law

    Marketing and Sales

    Medicine

    Research

    Science

    Many of the things that we do with Visual Basic really aren’t very basic. The Visual Basic language is powerful, if you can imagine a programming task, it can be accomplished using Visual Basic.

    Legacy Development and Support

    All versions of Visual Basic from 1.0 to 6.0 have been retired and are now unsupported by Microsoft. Visual Basic 6 programs can still run on Windows versions up to and including Vista. Development and maintenance development for Visual Basic 6 is possible on Windows XP and Windows 2003 using Visual Studio 6.0. Documentation for Visual Basic 6.0, its application programming interface and tools is best covered in the last MSDN release before Visual Studio.NET 2002. Later releases of MSDN focused on .NET development and had significant parts of the Visual Basic 6.0 programming documentation removed. Development for this type of legacy system is typically done using a virtual machine with Windows 2003 or Windows XP, Visual Studio 6.0 and MSDN documentation. As of August 2008, both Visual Studio 6.0 and the MSDN documentation mentioned above are available for download by MSDN subscribers.

      * The structure of the Basic programming language is very simple, particularly as to the executable code.
      * VB is not only a language but primarily an integrated, interactive development environment ("IDE").
      * The VB-IDE has been highly optimized to support rapid application development ("RAD"). It is particularly easy to develop graphical user interfaces and to connect them to handler functions provided by the application.
      * The graphical user interface of the VB-IDE provides intuitively appealing views for the management of the program structure in the large and the various types of entities (cl***es, modules, procedures, forms, ...).
      * VB provides a comprehensive interactive and context-sensitive online help system.
      * When editing program texts the "IntelliSense" technology informs you in a little popup window about the types of constructs that may be entered at the current cursor location.
      * VB is a component integration language which is attuned to Microsoft's Component Object Model ("COM").
      * COM components can be written in different languages and then inegrated using VB.
      * Interfaces of COM components can be easily called remotely via Distributed COM ("DCOM"), which makes it easy to construct distributed applications.
      * COM components can be embedded in / linked to your application's user interface and also in/to stored documents (Object Linking and Embedding "OLE", "Compound Documents").
      * There is a wealth of readily available COM components for many different purposes.

        Visual Basic 6.0 is famous version, I use it and I like VB to use for developing applications. It is very easy to learn and use.
