I am discovering currently Visual Studio 2010. I have no experience whatsoever with Visual Basic. I see that Visual Studio supports several languages, that C# is easier than C++ for newbies, but I still don’t know what is the default language in that program.
In my first test application, I can insert buttons and many other things on a form. Looking at the code gives something like that:
Private Sub Beenden_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Beenden.Click
End Sub
This looks to me like VBA, but I never decided what language I want to use. Is that Visual Basic? Or VB.NET then?
Thanks for clarifying all this!
The language is most probabaly VB.NET.
Visual Studio does not have a “default language”.
What language you use depends on the project you have created – there are templates for C#, VB.NET and C++ in the default installation, but you can add many other templates and languages.
The above applies to the non-free versions of Visual Studio (Pro, Ultimate etc…).
The Express Editions are language specific (you can download and run these side-by-side).
