Features: This book is compiled based on the basic teaching requirements for the "Advanced Language Programming" course set by the Computer Basic Education Curriculum Guidance Committee of the Ministry of Education. Using the truly object-oriented language VISUALBASIC.CET as the background, it introduces VISUAL design while explaining structured programming in BASIC, common algorithms, programming concepts, and their implementation. This book is suitable as a textbook for computer science and engineering majors in higher education institutions, as well as for computer training materials and self-study purposes.
Chapter 1: VISUALBASIC.NET Basics
With the brand-new arrival of VISUALSTUDIO.NET, VISUALBASIC.NET (abbreviated as VB.NET), one of its controls, also met users. It made significant improvements to VB based on the .NET framework, making operations easier, functions more powerful, and giving it the ability to access certain system resources that previously required languages like C++. The most important thing is that VB.NET introduced object inheritance, becoming a truly object-oriented programming language. Combined with the excellent features of WEB Forms and WEB Services, users can freely develop a variety of network-based applications.
1.1 Introduction to VISUALBASIC.NET
VB.NET is an upgraded version of VISUALBASIC, with many new features added. MICROSOFT redesigned it to better suit the development of WEB applications. VB.NET has two new form methods: WINDOWS Forms and WEB Forms; integrated ADO.NET for accessing offline data; the new language no longer supports some traditional keywords; and complete object-oriented functionality enhances code reusability. These are all the changes that long-time VISUALBASIC users have been looking for.
