VB.NET 2005

Visual Basic (VB) is a programming language based on the original DOS language called BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). VB.NET 2005, an offshoot of Visual Basic, is an object-oriented programming language based on VB that is implemented using the Microsoft .NET framework. The basic syntax of the Visual Basic language remains unchanged in VB.NET 2005, but includes additional features such as structured exception handling and short circuited expressions to enhance the infrastructure of the programming language. Developers have found VB.NET to be controversial as some of the software and developmental changes clash with the original language within VB and have caused compatibility issues. Visual Studio .NET is the predominant integrated development environment (IDE) that VB.NET developers employ.

Visual Basic programmers supporting VB.NET indicate that language constructs and user interface features in the newer system have caused programming issues within the original VB system. Developers using VB.NET recognize that the upgraded VB system incorporates contemporary object oriented programming paradigms in a more stable environment than was originally thought possible.

Visual Basic .NET is a programming language that can be used to create winforms or webapp applications and create programming based in any object-oriented programming language (OOP), ADO.NET, Multithreading or Windows Services. VB.NET programming utilizes concepts connected to string encryption, forms inheritance, regular expressions and deployment.
