Visual Basic

[niti_nambiar]

Its is a basic question, that what is visual basic known as I mean is it an object oriented programming language, an object based programming language, or is it a structured language. If it is any of the above please tell me how is it.

VB is an object oriented programming language.

it is object oriented programming language but it is not 100 percent object oriented as it does not support pure inheritace.

Cheers!

Hi,

I think it's an event- driven programming language.

I know it isn't a 100 percent object driven programming language but what would a 100 pc odpl be?

Microsoft (in its manual) says it is an Object-based, event driven, and at the same time structured programming.

Depending on your approach, you can create a codes structured way Object Oriented languageS are.
It is also event driven because many of you codes are 'activated' or called based on the events you specified.
Code structures is based on your planning. You can create a highly structured codes.
But VB is not very strict or rigid language (unlike C or Pascal). If you're not watchfull, you can easily find yourself in the quagmire of what the olden days described it as 'spaghetti codes'.

Dot Net claimed.
Even variables are objects there.

Isn't that promoting confusion CImperiali? Just for the sake of labelling it an OOP, even primitive variables are now called objects? Why not just confine the word objects to those we create and wrap?

VB is an object-based language.

**Rather than object orientation more emphasis is given to modularisation and code resuse .It does not support pure inheritence so cannot be called object oriented like VC++ .

**Its a gradual transition from procedural to event driven programming.Event is required to trigger a response but the code required to process is in procedural fashion.

**VB is hence an object based language its made of built in objects.Almost all components are some kind of objects like forms,controls etc.
