Visual Basic (VB) is a third-generation event-driven programming language from Microsoft). It was designed to be relatively easy to learn and use, and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications). VB provides a graphical user interface (GUI) which allows programmers to modify code by simply dragging and dropping elements. It was derived from BASIC and contains ordinary features such as string processing and computation. VB also allows access to databases using Data Access Objects, Remote Data Objects, or ActiveX Data Objects, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects).
VB is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It is used to create type-safe .NET apps. VB was first introduced in 1991 and is considered the third generation of programming languages. It was designed to enable rapid application development (RAD) of graphical-user interface-based (GUI-based) applications and access to local and remote databases.
VB is still used today, and some software developers still prefer Visual Basic 6.0 over its successor, Visual Basic .NET). It is popular because it is easy to learn and use, and it enables the rapid development of Windows-based applications while also assisting in the access of databases by using ActiveX data objects (ADO) while allowing programmers to use ActiveX control and various objects.
