Until the release of Visual Studio .NET, developing Windows-based applications in Visual Basic has remained virtually unchanged since the release of version 1.0. The design environment from one release to the next changed little over time, and a developer who worked with one release could easily pick up the new release and become productive in a short amount of time. A Visual Basic developer would have to learn the new features of the product in order to make use of the program advances, but it was never critical to go through a steep learning curve to build a simple, functional Windows application.

With the release of Visual Basic .NET, you will find that there is a significantly different feel to the design environment, components, and code. Although you will see some familiarities between Visual Basic .NET and the previous release, there are also many differences in all aspects of buildingWindows-based applications. Microsoft has merged the development environments from Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual Interdev in order to come up with a standard tool to use across all environments. They have also built up the language and visual components of the tools around the Common Language Runtime (CLR). For developers, this is the main concept behind the .NET Framework. The purpose of the CLR is to provide commonality across any language built on the .NET Framework, to allow developers to use any language with which they are comfortable.
