Visual basic programming software Programming Software

Upgrade

Microsoft Visual Basic .NET is the most powerful version of the Visual Basic development system. Reengineered to be a first-class language on the Microsoft .NET Framework, it provides the easiest and most productive route for new developers and existing Visual Basic programmers to quickly build Windows-based applications, next generation XML Web services, thin-client Web applications, and software for mobile devices.

VB PRO adds features beyond separately listed Learning Edition: Native Code Compiler -- create extremely fast applications and components; Supports MS Internet Information Server apps -- build server-side Internet apps & components that are easily accessible from any browser on any platform; Dynamic HTML Page Designer -- write Dynamic HTML-based apps that fully exploit Internet Explorer 4.0; Professional Visual Database Tools -- view tables, modify data, and create SQL queries within the VB development environment for any ODBC or OLE DB-compliant database. Enhanced Drivers for MS SQL Server and Oracle databases -- gain high-speed access to MS SQL Server V6.5 and Oracle 7.3.3+ databases using native OLE DB drivers; AcitveX Data Objects (ADO) -- access data across LANs or Internet using the latest data access technology; Data Environment Designer -- easily create reusable ADO-based objects to simplify remote data access. Mobile Computing Support -- write client/server apps that work with databases whether or not a connection exists with a LAN or the Web; Custom Data Source Creation -- create reusable data source components that encapsulate proprietary or legacy data; Drag and Drop Report Creation -- integrated report writer produces refined heirarchical printed reports without writing code; Drag and Drop Form Creation -- build sophisticated data forms by dragging elements from the Data Environment. Features: Native Code Compiler Create applications, and both client and server-side components that are optimized for throughput by the world-class Visual C++ 6.0 optimized native-code compiler. ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) Visual Basic 6.0 introduces ADO as the powerful new standard for data access. Included OLE DB drivers include SQL Server 6.5+, Oracle 7.3.3+, Microsoft Access, ODBC, and SNA Server. Integrated Professional Visual Database Tools Visual Basic 6.0 provides a complete set of tools for integrating databases with any application. Database features include design tools for creating and modifying SQL Server 6.5, Oracle 7.3.3 or above, and AS/400 databases. Automatic data binding Virtually no code is needed to bind controls to data sources. Setting just two properties in the Property window connects the control to any data source. Data Environment Designer Visually create reusable recordset command objects with drag-and-drop functionality. Bind to multiple data sources for data aggregation and manipulation. Data Report Designer Developers can quickly drag-and-drop custom data-bound controls to create forms or reports. Creation of custom data hierarchies is as easy as filling out a dialog box and dragging the command to the form. Creation of custom data consumers and providers Create custom data-aware COM controls for the client or middle-tier and custom OLE DB providers. Middle-tier testing and deployment tools Interactively debug Microsoft Transaction Server packaged components, and package and deploy components to remote servers. Visual Basic WebClass Designer Create server-side applications and components that are easily accessible from any Web browser on any platform. Dynamic HTML Page Designer Develop multimedia-rich applications using the document object model and Dynamic HTML surface as your user interface with a WYSIWYG editor. Mobile computing support Write client/server applications that work with databases whether or not a connection exists with a LAN or the Web.
