UNIT – I
INTRODUCTION TO VB
------------------------------------------------------------
What is Visual Basic?
English: Visual Basic is an event-driven, high-level programming language used to build Windows
applications with GUI.
Hindi: Visual Basic ek aisa programming language hai jisme hum Windows apps bana sakte hain
jisme buttons, textbox, forms hote hain. Ye event-driven hota hai yani jab user koi button dabata
hai, tab code chalega.
1. **Visual Programming**
English: Drag & drop interface creation using form designer.
Hindi: Form designer me button, textbox ko khinch kar rakh sakte hain.
Example:
• Drag a Button → Set name → Code on click event.
2. **Non-Visual Programming**
English: Coding without GUI, such as modules or functions.
Hindi: Sirf coding hoti hai, koi button ya form nahi.
3. **Event-Driven Programming**
English: Program runs based on events like button click, mouse move, key press.
Hindi: Jab koi event hota hai tab code execute hota hai.
Example:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "Button Pressed!"
End Sub
4. **Procedural Programming**
Execution goes step-by-step.
Hindi: Code line-by-line chalta hai.
5. **Object-Oriented Programming**
Concepts: Objects, Classes, Encapsulation, Polymorphism
Example: Form is an object having properties (Caption), methods (Show), events
(Load).
6. **VB Environment Explanation**
• Menu Bar → File, Edit
• Toolbar → Quick tools
• Project Explorer → Shows forms/modules
• Properties Window → Set text/size/color
• Form Designer → Create user interface

UNIT – II
BASICS OF PROGRAMMING
------------------------------------------------------------
1. **Variables**
English: Storage locations with names.
Hindi: Data store karne ki jagah jise hum naam dete hain.
Example:
Dim name As String
Dim age As Integer
2. **Declaring Variables**
Rules:
• Start with letter
• No spaces
• No keywords
3. **Types of Variables**
String, Integer, Boolean, Double, Currency
4. **Constants**
Values that do not change.
Example:
Const Pi As Single = 3.14
5. **User-Defined Data Types**
Example:
Type Student
Name As String
Roll As Integer
End Type
6. **Operators**
Arithmetic → +, -, *, /
Relational → =, <>, <, >, <=, >=
Logical → AND, OR, NOT
Example:
If age >= 18 And age < 60 Then
MsgBox "Adult"
End If
7. **I/O in VB**
TextBox input → MsgBox output
Example:
MsgBox [Link]
------------------------------------------------------------
UNIT – III
DECISIONS, LOOPS, ARRAYS
------------------------------------------------------------
1. **Decision Making**
If-Else
Select Case
Nested If
Example:
If marks >= 90 Then
MsgBox "A Grade"
ElseIf marks >= 75 Then
MsgBox "B Grade"
Else
MsgBox "C Grade"
End If
Select Case age
Case 1 To 12
MsgBox "Child"
Case 13 To 19
MsgBox "Teen"
Case Else
MsgBox "Adult"
End Select
2. **Loops**
For Loop
Example:
For i = 1 To 10
Print i
Next
Do-While Loop
Example:
Do While x < 5
x=x+1
Loop
3. **Arrays**
Single Dimensional
Example:
Dim arr(5) As Integer
Two Dimensional
Dim arr(3,3) As Integer
4. **Collections**
Dynamic group of items.
Example:
Dim c As New Collection
[Link] "Ram"
[Link] "Shyam"
MsgBox [Link]
------------------------------------------------------------
UNIT – IV
PROCEDURES, FUNCTIONS & FORMS
------------------------------------------------------------
1. **Procedures**
Sub…End Sub
Do not return value.
Example:
Sub Show()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub
2. **Functions**
Return value.
Example:
Function Square(x As Integer) As Integer
Square = x * x
End Function
3. **Arguments**
ByVal vs ByRef
Example:
Sub Test(ByVal x As Integer)
4. **Menus**
Using Menu Editor
Steps:
• Tools → Menu Editor
• Add Caption
• Add Shortcut
• Add Events
5. **Multiple Forms**
Example:
[Link]
[Link]
