What's Visual Basic Development Environment ?

When you start your Visual Basic and select a project type, a graphical development environment appears on your screen. In this Visual Basic Development Environment you can develop your Visual Basic applications. You can design your Visual Basic program interface and write your program code. And also you can run your Visual Basic Program for testing and compile them.

Development Environment in Visual Basic has several elements, such as:

Visual Basic Project

Visual Basic Standard Toolbar

Visual Basic Toolbox

Visual Basic Form Designer

Visual Basic Project Explorer Window

Visual Basic Properties Window

Visual Basic Code Editor Window

Visual Basic Immediate Window

Each elements has specific funcions, however they all make easy to develop your VB applications.
