Guys I am not into programming and have no clue what-so-ever about any of this. SO can someone explain to me what's the difference between Visual Basic; Visual Studio & Visual Basic .NET (VB.Net).

Thank you.

Visual basic : Old Microsoft programming language using which you can make applications by even drag & drop & easier coding. Visual aspect makes the design of app easy. In uses the now legacy Winforms UI Components

Visual Studio : The IDE on which you can make applications using Microsoft Development tools & languages such as Visual C++ * Visual basic. You code or design on this.

Visual basic.net : Managed code version of Visual basic, it's not much different from Visual Basic, just that now the code is managed & a MSIL file is made during compilation not the machine code specific application exe.

So you use the tool to write the language and the framework makes sure it behaves as the program is intended to?

Yep, thats right. VS is the developing tool, and the the coding is done in VB, and the .net is the runtime needed for the program to run in all comps.

The framework makes your task easier by providing a repository/structure of repeatedly used logical patterns.
