Microsoft Visual Basic – tool for software development, developed by Microsoft and includes a programming language and development environment. Visual Basic language has inherited the spirit, style and syntax of his ancestor in part – Basic language, which has many dialects. At the same time, Visual Basic combines the process and elements of object-oriented and component-oriented programming languages. VB development environment includes tools for visual design of user interface.
Visual Basic at the same time and love, and despised by many programmers. Visual Basic is considered an ideal tool for rapid development of prototypes for the development of applications and databases in general, for the component method of creating programs that are running operating systems Microsoft Windows.
The first recognition of the serious developers Visual Basic received after version 3 – VB 3. Final acceptance as a full-fledged programming tools for Windows – Version 5 on exit – VB 5. VB 6 version that is included with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, has become a truly mature and functionally rich product. After that, the developers of Microsoft has changed the direction of this technology.
Language Visual Basic is not a standard or ANSI, or ISO.

Visual Basic Classic (versions 5 and 6).
Visual Basic Classic is very much tied to its environment and to develop the operating system Windows, as the only tool for writing Windows-applications. Binding to the environment is that there are many tools designed to aid and ease of programming: embedded debugger, view variables and data structures on the fly, window managers, bubble when typing program (Intellisense). All these advantages make useless and even impossible to use outside of Visual Basic development environment, such as text editor.
