Visual Basic (VB) Notes

1. Introduction to Visual Basic


 Visual Basic (VB) is a high-level, object-oriented programming language developed
by Microsoft.
 It is part of the .NET framework and is widely used for developing Windows
applications.
 VB is known for its simplicity and rapid application development
(RAD) capabilities.

Key Features:

✔ Event-driven programming – Code executes in response to user actions (e.g.,


button clicks).
✔ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) – Provides tools like drag-and-
drop controls.
✔ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) – Supports classes, inheritance, and
polymorphism.
✔ Rich library support – Access to the .NET Framework for advanced functionalities.

2. VB Syntax Basics
A. Structure of a VB Program
vb
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
End Sub
End Module

B. Comments
vb
' This is a single-line comment
''' <summary>
''' This is a multi-line XML comment
''' </summary>

C. Variables & Data Types

Data Type Description Example

Integer Whole numbers Dim num As Integer = 10

Double Floating-point numbers Dim price As Double = 19.99

String Text Dim name As String = "John"

Boolean True/False Dim isTrue As Boolean = True

Date Date & Time Dim today As Date = Date.Now

D. Operators

 Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, ^ (exponent), Mod (modulus)


 Comparison: =, <>, >, <, >=, <=
 Logical: And, Or, Not, Xor

E. Input & Output


vb
Console.WriteLine("Output text") ' Writes a line
Console.ReadLine() ' Reads user input

3. Control Structures
A. Conditional Statements

If-Else
vb
If condition Then
' Code
ElseIf condition2 Then
' Code
Else
' Code
End If

Select Case
vb
Select Case variable
Case value1
' Code
Case value2
' Code
Case Else
' Default code
End Select

B. Loops

For Loop
vb
For i = 1 To 10
Console.WriteLine(i)
Next

While Loop
vb
While condition
' Code
End While

Do While / Do Until
vb
Do While condition
' Code
Loop

Do Until condition
' Code
Loop

4. Procedures & Functions


A. Sub Procedures (No return value)
vb
Sub Greet(name As String)
Console.WriteLine("Hello, " & name)
End Sub

B. Functions (Returns a value)


vb
Function Add(a As Integer, b As Integer) As Integer
Return a + b
End Function

5. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in VB


A. Classes & Objects
vb
Class Person
Public Name As String
Public Age As Integer

Sub Display()
Console.WriteLine($"Name: {Name}, Age: {Age}")
End Sub
End Class

' Creating an object


Dim p1 As New Person()
p1.Name = "Alice"
p1.Age = 25
p1.Display()

B. Inheritance
vb
Class
