The Visual Studio .NET Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides you with a common interface for developing various kinds of projects for the .NET Framework. The IDE provides you with a centralized location for designing the user interface for the application, writing code, and compiling and debugging the application. The Visual Studio .NET IDE is available to all the programmers who use the languages in the Visual Studio .NET suite. At the moment, Visual Studio .NET supports languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual C#. Before we start using Visual Studio .NET for creating Visual Basic .NET applications, let us understand the various components of the Visual Studio .NET IDE.
Projects and Solutions
In Visual Studio .NET, an application can be made up of one or more items, such as files and folders. To organize these items efficiently, Visual Studio .NET has provided two types of containers: projects and solutions.
A project typically contains items that are interrelated. For example, you may create a project that contains items for connecting to the Sales database and allowing users to manipulate the data in the database. A project allows you to manage, build, and debug the items that make up an application. When you build a project, it usually results in the creation of an executable file (.exe) or a dynamic link library (.dll).
These files that are created as a result of building the project are called the project output.
These files that are created as a result of building the project are called the project output.
A solution usually acts as a container for one or more projects. For example, you may create a solution containing two projects, one for manipulation of data and the other for generation of reports for the Sales division of an organization. Thus, a solution allows you to work on multiple projects within the same instance of the Visual Studio .NET IDE. A solution also allows you to specify settings and options that apply to
multiple projects.

When i post this article, Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4. Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 have something for every developer. The new editor, now using Windows Presentation Foundation, delivers a more flexible, feature-rich environment that supports concepts such as the use of multiple monitors. This enables a developer to have one monitor with code, another with the user interface designer, and yet another with database structure.
Microsoft provides "Express" editions of its Visual Studio 2010 components Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++, and Visual Web Developer at no cost. Visual Studio 2010, 2008 and 2005 Professional Editions, along with language-specific versions (Visual Basic, C++, C#, J#) of Visual Studio 2005 are available for free to students as downloads via Microsoft's DreamSpark program.
In the next part of the tutorial, I will be using Microsoft Visual studio 2010 in every project that we will make later.
My name is Jakfar Zakaria. My friends call me Jakfar. I have lived such a tiring journey, about my education and others. Four years ago, I explore the computer network specializes in Linux Technology. And now I steeped about computer programming. I have little ability in computer programming, I focus on Visual Basic .NET programming language and PHP programming language. It takes a big sacrifice in studying it all, and my teacher is Google! Yups, Google! Google is a good teacher for me.
