Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language developed by Microsoft that enables the development of desktop, web, and mobile applications. It uses the .NET Framework, allowing for platform independence. Some key benefits of VB.NET include its object-oriented nature, ease of learning, ability to create efficient and high-performance applications, and large community support. VB.NET combines features of the .NET Framework with the productivity benefits of Visual Basic.

1. What is Visual Basic .NET?


 The VB.Net or Visual Basic .Net is an object-oriented programming
language used for Microsoft based system application product development that
works on .Net framework. It's known for many of its beneficial feature, that includes
VB.Net being a structured object and component-oriented general-purpose language,
it is working on .Net framework which is platform-independent, for constructing
highly efficient and high-performance application programs. VB.Net is one of the top
programming languages with a simple structural syntax for programming the code
blocks.
It is a modern, object-oriented, and simple computer programming language that
was developed by Microsoft. It was developed to combine the features of .NET
Framework along with the common language run-time which gives the productivity
benefits which is the signature of Visual Basic. Visual Basic .NET sometimes also
referred to as VB.Net is an OOP’s based programming language that internally
uses .NET Framework. It is interesting to know that although VB.NET is an evolution
of legacy Visual Basic language, however, it is not backward-compatible with version
VB6. Hence, any piece of code written in previous or older versions is not compatible
with VB.NET

2. What are the benefits of using Visual Basic .NET?


Now let us know The Benefits of using Visual Basic .NET
 Object-Oriented – VB.Net is all an object. From primitive data types to
user-defined data types each and everything is object-based. It easily gives all the
advantages of any OOP’s based language like Java etc
 Modern and General Purpose – VB.Net is a general-purpose language that has
all the features of any modern technology.
 Easy to Learn – Due to its easier syntax and less learning curve it is easier to
learn.
 Structured Language – VB.Net is a highly structured language.
 Component-Oriented – VB.Net follows the concept of a component.
Component here means that the whole application is subdivided into simpler
components and then these components are developed individually to make a
complete application.
 Platform Independent – It is a platform-independent programming technology
hence it could be compiled on a variety of computer platforms and can be run of
different OS.
 Produces Efficient Programs – VB.Net is self capable to develop efficient
applications.
 Large Community Support – It is large community support with efforts and
inputs from a large number of people. It is a part of .Net Framework.
