A. Simple, I'm confident that you are asking how to make your Visual Basic Project file into a file format that is compatible with other computers that do not have visual basic installed. And Visual Basic can do that! You can make your project into an EXE So during your project go to Menu Bar > Build > Build "Yourprojectname" After selecting that, VB would have made your project into the executible. To find that executible go to your documents > Visual Basic 2008 Folder > Your project folder > Your project folder again > bin > Release. And it should be in that folder path. Right-click and select "Properties" for all the files in there and check what type of file it is, The one you find that says it's… [cont.]

How can i send a Visual Basic File to someone who doesnt have it?

Asked by Kylanca - Tue Apr 13 20:20:41 2010 - Programming & Design - 3 Answers - Comments

A. When your program is open in Visual Basic, go to toolbar, find "build" and click Build-->Build -your project. Then go to your folders menu--> Visual Studio-->Projects-->your project-->your project-->bin-->Release and copy all the files here. There will be an .exe among them. When your friend double clicks the .exe file the program will run on his computer. Of course he will have to have the latest .NET Framework (3.5) installed in his computer in order for the program to run properly. Happy programming!

How useful is Visual Basic for web programming? Is it still commonly used?
Q. I know I've seen stuff with is and ASP.NET, but I'm still pretty unfamiliar with all web service terminology. I'm about to take a class on Visual Basic, and I'm planning to be a web developer. Will it help me?
Asked by Waldo - Thu Feb 26 15:26:22 2009 - Programming & Design - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Yes!!! VB is still extremely common for ASP .NET development since it calls pretty much the same librarys as c#. People like it because it's a wordy language which doesnt have all of the punctuation - easier to follow if you ask me because it offers a smooth transition from psuedocode to real code.. Here's also a fun fact for you, the newest version of the silverlight compiler was written in VB! All of the .NET languages are pretty much on par with each other when it comes to web development; I have personally done some amazing things with VB. Take the course, and good luck! :)

Also what code i am going to use to perform the searching on the table using Visual Basic Language.

Asked by fnat - Mon Nov 17 06:20:38 2008 - Programming & Design - 1 Answers - Comments

A. If you just need to search a table and do calculations, you can do all this in Excel VBA, which is a programming language that interfaces with Excel. I cannot give you specific code to use without more specific details about your problem. However, I highly recommend reading "VBA for Modelers" by S. Christian Albright. It is very easy to read, with plenty of examples and problems to work through.

How to close a Visual Basic application with multiple forms?
Q. I'm a beginner with visual basic. In two of the three forms on my application, I made buttons which use .close to exit all the forms. This doesn't seem to work because it says it is still debugging. I've tried disposing them to but that doesn't work. It works when I click it when it first opens the form but if I go to the other form (which has a main menu button which closes itself and the other form, and opens and disposes the menu form (the first form). Is my problem here or did I do something else wrong?
