VISUAL BASIC
Visual Basic is Graphical Rapid Application
Development (RAD) tool that aims at providing the user with a graphical
interface that is intuitive and easy to use. Visual Basic is a popular
programming tool that can be used to write any kind of visual application
ranging from a game to a database management application. Now-a-days Visual
basic is being widely used for developing different types of applications and
performing various types of jobs. With Visual basic, one can automate everyday
tasks, add custom required features and functions to suit ones need, and create
applications, which makes task easier.
A visual Basic programming environment provides
all features that are required to develop a graphical user interface as ready
to use components. The Visual Basic programming environment is also called
Point and Click environment. The programmer does not have to write the code to
create and display commonly required user-friendly features each time around.
When the programmer needs a specific user
interface feature such as a button, he selects the appropriate ready to use
component provided by the Visual programming environment. These components can
be moved, resized and renamed as required. So a Visual programming environment automates
the process of creating the user interface by designing Visual interface using
the ready to use components. In addition, it also provides the means of
associating the user written logically defined code with the components used in
a project.
My project on
“Library Management” deals with the transaction happenings in Library in an
organization/institute.
This project
will be proved easier, as more of the tasks obtained are managed by a mouse
click. The final reports and other facilities and calculations are calculated
and updated automatically.
Advantages of Visual
Basic
Ø Ready to use components
A Visual Basic programming environment provides all features that are required to develop a graphical user interface as ready to use components.The Visual programming environment is also called Point and Click environment.
The programmer does not have to write the code to create and
display commonly required user-friendly features each time around. When the programmer needs a specific user interface feature Such as a button, he
selects the appropriate ready to use component provided by the Visual
Programming environment. These components can be moved, re-sized and renamed as
required. Also there is no restriction on number of controls placed in the
project.
Ø Built in Code
The interface
components provided by the Visual programming environment has some code built
into them. For e.g., a button ‘ Knows’ when it has been clicked upon and then
when the event occurs, it executes the appropriate code.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
