NET Framework defines the
environment that you use to execute Visual Basic .NET applications and the services you can use within
those applications. One of the main goals of this framework is to make it easier to develop applications that run over the Internet. However, this framework can also be used to develop traditional business
applications that run on the Windows desktop. Visual Studio also includes several other components that make it an development product. One of these outstanding is the Microsoft
Development Environment, which youll be introduced to in a moment. Another is the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (or MSDE). MSDE is a database engine Visual
that runs on your own PC so you can use
Studio for developing database applications that are compatible with Microsoft SQL Server. SQL Server in system that can be

languages that come with Visual Studio .NET are C# and C++. C# .NET is a new language that has
been developed by Microsoft especially for the .NET Framework. Visual C++ .NET is Microsofts version of platforms
the C++ language that is used on many besides Windows Pcs.
Visual Studio .NET can be used on any PC that runs Windows 2000 or later. You can also see that the applications that are developed with
Visual Studio .NET can be run on any PC that runs Windows 98 or later, depending on which .NET components are used by the application. From a practical point of view, though, you can assume that the applications that you develop with Visual Basic
.NET will be run on PCs that or later.

Visual Basic .NET comes in an inexpensive
Standard
Edition that includes only the Visual Basic language, not C# or C++. Although the three languages shown in programming languages
this figure are the only three
you can use within Visual Studio .NET, other vendors are free to develop languages for the .NET Framework.
1. Explain various basic data types and variables in
Visual Basic. There are two kinds of data types in VB.Net. Value type (implicit data types, Structure and Enumeration) Value types are passed to methods by
passing an exact copy while
Reference types are
passed to methods by passing only their reference
(handle). Implicit data types language core by the
are defined in the
language vendor, while explicit or
data types are types that are made by using
composing implicit data types. As seen in the first unit, implicit data types in .net compliant languages are mapped to types in Common Type System (CTS) and Language Specification). Hence, each
CLS (Common
implicit data type in VB.Net has its
