MS Visual Basic .NET Standard

MS Visual Basic .NET Standard ... challenges more rapidly and effectively. Visual Basic .NET provides the easiest route for new developers and existing Visual Basic programmers to create rich Windows applications in less time, incorporate data access from a wider range of database scenarios, create components with minimal code, and build Web applications using the skills they already have.

Whether you're a new developer or an existing Visual Basic programmer, Visual Basic .NET enables you to create powerful Windows applications in less time, seamlessly deploy and maintain applications, access data from a wider range of scenarios, and build Web applications using the skills you already have. Using new Visual Basic .NET features such as the real-time background compiler, Task List, improved IntelliSense statement completion, and strict type checking, you can create applications that are more robust, maintainable, and less prone to runtime errors. With Visual Basic .NET, the Windows applications you build are more powerful, responsive, and get to market more rapidly. Control anchoring eliminates the need for complex resize code, the in-place menu editor enables visual menu authoring directly within the designer, and simplified accessibility and localization instantly expand the reach of your Windows applications. With Visual Basic .NET, you not only build applications more rapidly, but you also deploy and maintain them with greater efficiency. Visual Basic .NET makes DLL Hell a thing of the past with side-by-side versioning, XCOPY deployment, and auto-download of Windows applications. New ADO.NET data access enables XML-based data binding to any database as well as arrays, classes, and collections. Seamless access to ADO enables simple data access for connection-oriented data binding scenarios. Using new Web Forms, you can easily build true thin-client Web applications that intelligently render on any browser and on any platform. The new HTML designer delivers IntelliSense statement completion for HTML tags.
