[VisualBasic], also known as VB, is the brand name MicrosoftCorporation use for their flavour of [BASIC]. Actually, it only vaguely resembles [BASIC] anymore, being far more complex, but is still quite a restricted ProgrammingLanguage compared to others. Don't use it if you have a choice. |

A variant called VBA, ie "VisualBasic for Applications", is used to script MicrosoftExcel/Word documents, and as a side-effect, often used to write macro [Virus]es. Thanks, [Bill | BillGates]! |

More recently, MicrosoftCorporation decided to reapply the VisualBasic brand onto something called __Visual Basic.NET__, which has nothing to do with [BASIC] and little with VisualBasic, and is basically [C#] using different syntax. Lots of VisualBasic developers got very angry at the loss of backwards compatibility. |
