Windows programs, including those written in Visual Basic, do not run natively on Linux. Most Visual Basic programs should be usable if Wine is installed.

What is visual basic express 2008?

The Visual Studio Express editions are free versions of software that are released with the intent of teaching people that would like to learn to use Microsoft-based programming languages. Visual Basic is one of the core languages you can learn using the Express 2008 suite, along with C++, C#, Microsoft SQL Lite, and the Web Developer (ASP) versions. Downloading Visual Basic Express 2008 allows you to learn Visual Basic and compile programs for demonstration/testing purposes only. You must upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 to legally distribute programs you have created in Visual Basic Express 2008. The projects for both programs are compatible with each other, so you can upgrade at any time without losing your work.


How do you visual basic?

I think you mean how do you work visual basic. Anyways, it is a programming language developed by Microsoft using a type of basic language. I would go to a site that will teach you vb (visual basic)


Can vb go away by itself?

No. Visual Basic is a programming language and no language can physically "go away by itself". They are not sentient. Can English go away by itself? Of course it can't. Neither can Visual Basic. What can go away is the software used to interpret the Visual Basic language. In this case that includes the Visual Basic plugins that enable the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) to work with your Visual Basic code and other components, including the Visual Basic compiler and the runtime libraries required to execute Visual Basic programs. But they cannot "go away" by themselves. Either a hardware component has malfunctioned or a user has deliberately removed the hardware or software components. There simply isn't sufficient information to determine exactly why your Visual Basic has gone "away".

Why do Linux programs not run in Windows?

The 2 operating systems are different from each other. Linux programs aren't meant to work in Windows most of the time. If you want to run Linux programs in Windows, install cygwin, and compile them from source code.


What tools are provided for securing Linux?

What are the steps involved in creating visual basic programs?

The traditional way to learn any programming language is to start by writing a "Hello, World" program; this program should write "Hello, World" to the screen. To write such a program, you have to work out how to edit text, and run it through the compiler. Visual Basic, is almost like that, but window environment programs are event driven - they consist of routines that react to events - a button being clicked, a timer expering and so on. Visual Basic is also object orientated. Windows, buttons, every component of a program are objects or part of objects. With this in mind, its useful to read up on events and objects to see how to approach Visual programming. With a little knowledge, think of a project and try and write a program. Writing programs is by far the quickest way to become proficient in a language.
