Yes, you also have the option of creating automation solutions using the Microsoft .NET platform, which supports several different languages. The most widely used language, especially for those who aren’t in the business of writing programs full-time, is Visual Basic. VB.NET is available as part of the Microsoft Visual Studio package, which is intended for programming professionals. You can also get it for free (that’s right, FREE!) in their special Visual Basic .NET Express package. (Though free, you need to register the program to continue using it. Registration requires a valid e-mail address.) If given a choice, we now recommend developing in VB.NET rather than VBA if you need to take advantage of Windows features not available in PerfectScript.
