  • Returning to Visual Basic

    From jpnicholas46@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 5 15:17:14 2017
    Good day,
    I purchased a new computer and wanted to install Visual basic Express.
    During the process I noted that Visual Basic is no longer offered and I then got redirected to a Visual Studio 2017 download site. I now have Visual Studio 2017 installed on my Start page. When I started the program a "start page" is shown with the
    options: Get started, Open, Recent, and New Project.

    I thought I read somewhere that I could still program in VB through Visual Studio. If this is possible how do I get to the VB ide? As you can see I'm a newbee and I thank you for your patience in advance.

    When you start a new project you are given the option as to
    what language you want to use. Just choose the VB option. I
    don't recall just how that is presented, but it is there.

    And there may be somebody who will jump up and tell you this is
    a VB6 newsgroup. Don't worry too much about them.

    It *is* a worry if nobody here can answer questions about VB.Net since it's a completely different language.
