Key Features

* GUI Interface: - VB is a Graphical User Interface language. This means that a VB program will always show something on the screen that the user can interact with to get a job done. * Modularization: - It is considered good programming practice to modularize your programs. Small modules where it is clearly indicated what comes into the module and what goes out makes a program easy to understand. * Object Oriented: - Object Oriented Programming is a concept where the programmer thinks of the program in "objects" that interact with each other. Visual Basic forces this good programming practice. * Debugging: - Visual Basic offers two different options for code debugging:- Debugging Managed Code Runtime Debugger The Debugging Managed Code individually debugs C and C++ applications and Visual Basic Windows applications. The Runtime Debugger helps to find and fix bugs in programs at runtime. * Data Access Feature: - By using data access features, we can create databases, scalable server-side components for most databases, including Microsoft SQL Server and other enterprise-level database. * Macros IDE: - The Macros integrated development environment is similar in design and function to the Visual Studio IDE. The Macros IDE includes a code editor, tool windows, the properties windows and editors.
