Where can I download Visual Basic?

Question

I want to download Visual Basic the Latest version

It seems that all the sources are acting strange

Nothing installs the software in my System

Any idea where i can find the source?

And is it free?

Answer 1

Microsoft has a download for its free express edition. that's what I use:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/download/default.aspx

I've seen no limitations to it.

Answer 2

If you just want to get a feel for what Visual Basic is you can start learning VB Script. (It stands for Visual Basic Script.)

A script is a non-compiled piece of code.

All recent versions of Windows released in the last five years come with VB Script pre-installed.

To write you first VB Script program, just type the following code in Notepad (or any other text editor) and save it as test.vbs (The name is unimportant but the extension must be ".vbs") To run the code, double-click on the test.vbs file.

Dim I
For I=1 to 5
MsgBox "The value is " & I
Next

Hi there. Nope, nothing's is ever free .. well .. depends .. hehs.
In this case, are you talking about Microsoft Visual Basic? If so, it's definately not free. However, you can download a trail version of it, the latest u can get is Visual Basic 2005 I think. U can get it from their download page. Another Visual Basic app clone I've tried, and isn't bad at all, is RealBasic. U can get it at:

http://www.realbasic.com/

Note: Visual Basic from M$ is for Windows only, whereas RealBasic is good for Mac, Linux and Windows, ...not bad...

Hopes this helps.

Answer 4

check out Microsoft.com - search for "Visual BASIC 2005 Express Edition". That version of VB is free.
