Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Computer Programming for the ICT Module on Introduction to Visual
Basic .NET!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Computer Programming for the ICT Module on Introduction to Visual
Basic .NET!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning material while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectation - These are what you will be able to know after

completing the lessons in the module

Pre-test - This will measure your prior knowledge and the

concepts to be mastered throughout the lesson.

Recap - This section will measure what learnings and skills

that you understand from the previous lesson.

Lesson- This section will discuss the topic for this module.

Activities - This is a set of activities you will perform.

Wrap Up- This section summarizes the concepts and

applications of the lessons.

Valuing-this part will check the integration of values in the

learning competency.

Post-test - This will measure how much you have learned from
the entire module. Ito po ang parts ng module.

LESSON

What is Visual Basic .NET?

Alan Cooper created a visual programming language in 1988. Visual Basic
(VB) is an object-oriented and visual programming and type-safe programming
language. Visual Basic language has its roots from the family of C languages such
as C, C++ and it is mostly similar to Java programming.

Visual Basic (VB) Programming language will allow developers to build a

variety of secure and strong applications which will run on .NET Framework.

Like all other .NET languages, VB.NET has complete support for object-
oriented concepts. Everything in VB.NET is an object, including all of the primitive
types (Short, Integer, Long, String, Boolean, etc.) and user-defined types, events,
and even assemblies.

VB.NET is implemented by Microsoft's .NET framework. It's also possible to

run VB.NET programs on Mono, the open-source alternative to .NET, not only
under Windows, but even Linux or Mac OSX.

Microsoft provides the following development tools for VB.Net programming −

• Visual Studio 2010 (VS)

• Visual Basic 2010 Express (VBE)
• Visual Web Developer

The last two are free. Using these tools, you can write all kinds of VB.Net
programs from simple command-line applications to more complex applications.
Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer Express edition are trimmed down
versions of Visual Studio and has the same look and feel.

Features of Visual Basic .NET

• VB contains various features that make it similar to other
programming languages such as Visual Basic, C#, C++, Jscript, and
COBOL, etc.
• VB is a modern programming language and it is very powerful and
simple for building the applications.
• VB is useful in developing windows, web and device applications.
• Easy-to-use Generics

The VB IDE Start Page has following sections:

• The Start section has the New Project and Open Project commands that are
used to create a new project to open an existing project, respectively.
• The Recent section shows a list of a recently created projects.
• The Getting Started section provide links on how to build an application
using Visual Basic.
• The Announcement section provides latest online on how to build news
about Visual Studio.
• The Solution Explorer section shows the tree structure of all the Windows
files in your application.
