Features of VB.NET

  • An Object-oriented language
  • The only language in VS. NET that supports late binding
  • Not case-sensitive like C,C++ or Java.

Visual Basic.NET marks the transition of visual basic to being a true object-oriented programming language. Full backward compatibility for code is not possible. Therefore, any code written in previous versions of visual Basic may have to be modified before it can run on the .NET framework.
