If you've read anything at all about Visual Basic.Net, you'll probably know at least three things: 1. VB.NET is an object_oriented computer language that can be viewed as an evolution of Microsoft's Visual Basic (VB) implemented on the Microsoft .NET framework, 2. You can use objects with Visual Basic that are easy to use from other .NET Framework languages, and you can use objects from other .NET Framework languages just like you use objects created with Visual Basic, and 3. Visual Basic.NET is designed to provide security, memory management, versioning, and deployment support.
