Chapter 1. Visual Basic .NET andthe .NET Framework

Programming Visual Basic .NET is a comprehensive guide to the .NET version of the Visual Basic language and its use as a tool for programming on Microsoft's .NET platform. One learns VB.NET specifically to create .NET applications; pretending otherwise would miss the point of the language. Thus, this book does not consider VB.NET in a vacuum but places the language firmly in the context of Microsoft's .NET platform and in the development of desktop and Internet applications.

This chapter introduces both the Visual Basic .NET language and the .NET platform, including the .NET Framework.
