How does Visual Basic .NET relate to the .NET Framework?
If you are new to VB .NET, you can view the .NET Framework as being similar to VBRUNxxx.DLL, the former VB runtime. The .NET Framework provides a new programming model and rich set of classes designed to simplify application development (for Windows, the Web, and mobile devices), provides full support for XML Web services, robust security features, and delivers new levels of programming power and flexibility to VB developers. Unlike VBRUN, the .NET Framework is used by all MS languages including Visual C#, Visual J#, and Visual C++. All applications written in VB .NET execute within the context of the .NET Framework and can leverage the full power of the rich classes provided as part of the .NET Framework. In addition, the .NET Framework provides a consistent programming model that enables VB .NET developers to easily share and reuse code assets written in any of the more than 20 programming languages in the .NET Framework.
