I am confused about what Visual Studio actually is?

When I look at the website for Visual Studio, I keep seeing references to VB, C#, etc. Do you program in these other languages and they get mysteriously wrapped in Visual Studio. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be glad to do the research, but right now I have too much information and am not sure how to use it. TIA

I am confused about what Visual Studio actually is?
It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), basically a text editor and compilers for various programming languages (i.e. C#, Visual Basic, C++, erc). The IDE makes development quicker than compiling by hand (command line) by having everything together including help and all sorts of tools
