Is Visual Basic and Visual Studio the same or different?

Is VB5 just an older verson of Visual Studio or are they completly different?





I was watching some training videos in programming and I'm not sure if this is correct or not but the person who was Introducing the Visual Studio software was using C++ language.





If Visual Studio is using C++ for command, would it also use VB5 as well.





Really confuse. Please help. I might to TOTALLY WRONG ON ALL PARTS. Please help.

Is Visual Basic and Visual Studio the same or different?
Visual STUDIO is a COLLECTION of programs. The programs in Visual STUDIO include Visual BASIC, Visual C++, and Visual J++. Visual BASIC is not the same as Visual STUDIO, but it is one of the components in it. This is like asking "is a tire the same as a car?" The answer would be "no, but a tire is a part of a car." The "tire" in this case is Visual BASIC, the "car" in this case is Visual STUDIO. Visual C++ might be the "windshield wipers" of the "visual STUDIO CAR"
Reply:Ok - here's the lowdown :





VisualStudio is an IDE (integrated development environment) that supports coding in several languages, including VB, C#, and even C++. Visual Basic is a language that has been around for a long time, and gone through various versions, including VB5, VB6, and now, VB.Net (the newest incarnation)


So, you are not wrong at all - the person probably was programming C++ in Visual Studio because it is a very good IDE (in my opinion) The newest version of Visual Studio is called VisualStudio.Net, and the languages used to program in it are referred to as VB.Net, C#.Net, etc.


Hope this helps a little : )
