    Introduction to VB.NET

    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 2


    Overview
    • Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented
    computer programming language developed by
    Microsoft and implemented on the .NET Framework.
    • Although it is an evolution of classic Visual Basic
    language, it is not backwards-compatible with VB6,
    and any code written in the old version does not
    compile under VB.NET.

    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 3


    Overview Cont’n
    • Like all other .NET languages, VB.NET has complete support for
    object-oriented concepts. Everything in VB.NET is an object, including
    all of the primitive types (Short, Integer, Long, String, Boolean, etc.)
    and user-defined types, events, and even assemblies. All objects
    inherits from the base class Object.
    • VB.NET is implemented by Microsoft's .NET framework. Therefore, it
    has full access to all the libraries in the .Net Framework. It's also
    possible to run VB.NET programs on Mono, the open-source
    alternative to .NET, not only under Windows, but even Linux or Mac
    OSX.

    Why VB.Net is widely used as a professional
    language
    • Modern, general purpose.
    • Object oriented.
    • Component oriented.
    • Easy to learn.
    • Structured language.
    • It produces efficient programs.
    • It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
    • Part of .Net Framework.

    The .Net Framework

    The .Net framework is a revolutionary


    platform that helps you to write the following
    types of applications:
    • Windows applications
    • Web applications
    • Web services
    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 6
    The .Net Framework Cont’n
    • The .Net framework applications are multi-platform applications. The
    framework has been designed in such a way that it can be used from any
    of the following languages: Visual Basic, C#, C++, Jscript, and COBOL, etc.
    • All these languages can access the framework as well as communicate
    with each other.
    • The .Net framework consists of an enormous library of codes used by the
    client languages like VB.Net. These languages use object-oriented
    methodology.
    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 7
    Components of the .Net framework
    • Common Language Runtime (CLR)
    • The .Net Framework Class Library
    Qn:
    • Common Language Specification Briefly Explain the jobs
    • Common Type System performed by each of
    • Metadata and Assemblies
    • Windows Forms
    these components.
    • ASP.Net and ASP.Net AJAX
    • ADO.Net
    • Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
    • Windows Presentation Foundation
    • Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
    • LINQ

    A platform that allows the development and deployment of
    desktop and web applications
    Allows user choice of many .NET languages
     May program in One of them
     May create different parts of application in different languages
    ▪ Visual Basic
    ▪ C# (C Sharp)
    ▪ C++
    ▪ J++
    ▪ Etc.

    Project and Solution Concepts
    • User creates a new project in Visual Studio
    • A solution and a folder are created at the same time
    with the same name as the project
    • The project belongs to the solution
    • Multiple projects can be included in a solution

    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 12


    Project and Solution Concepts Cont’n
    • Solution
    • Contains several folders that define an application’s structure
    • Solution files have a file suffix of .sln
    • Project: contains files for a part of the solution
    • Project file is used to create an executable application
    • A project file has a suffix of .vbproj
    • Every project has a type (Console, Windows, etc.)
    • Every project has an entry point: A Sub procedure named Main or
    a Form

    04/22/2022 Hudson Nandere Lubinga 13


    Project and Solution Folders/Files
    • Solution folder
    • Solution file (.sln)
    • Project folder
    • Project file (.vbproj)
    • Visual Basic source files (.vb)
    • My Project folder: contains configuration information common
    to all projects
    • The file AssemblyInfo.vb contains assembly metadata
    • The References folder contains references to other assemblies
    • The bin folder contains the executable file produced as a result
    of compiling the application

    Event-Driven Computer Programs with a Graphical User
    Interface
    • Most Visual Basic.Net programs are event-driven programs
    that communicate with the user through a graphical user
    interface (GUI)
    • A GUI usually consists of a window, containing a variety of
    objects (icons, buttons, images)
    • An event means the user has initiated an action (a mouse
    click or entering text) that causes the program to perform
    the type of processing called for by the user’s action.
    • Clicking a button triggers an event, resulting in the program
    performing the process called by the click.
    15
    Event-Driven Computer Programs with a Graphical User
    Interface
    • Examples of events:
    • The user enters the account number in the Account Number box
    • The user clicks the Display Account Balance button
    • The user clicks the Reset Window button to clear the text boxes and prepare
    the user interface for the next
    account number

    16
    Assignment

    • Install Visual Studio 2008/2010/2013/2015


    and configure it for use.
