First VB.NET

Application

It’s time to jump in and start working with VB.NET. First, you

need to learn a little bit about the new IDE. The new VB.NET

IDE might look somewhat familiar to you, but there are some

significant changes that make it a more useful environment.

However, these changes can be frustrating to experienced VB

developers because many of the keystrokes have changed, win-dows

have different names, and the debugging tools work dif-ferently.

VB.NET is part of Visual Studio.NET (or VS.NET),

which finally consolidates all the development languages into

one place: VB.NET, C++.NET, and C#. You can even create a

single solution, containing multiple projects, in which the indi-vidual

projects are written in separate languages.
