<B>Tap into productivity and performance</B>
Program with the world’s most popular programming language to quickly create high-performance applications and components in a RAD environment.
- Build fast, native-code applications and components that use the same world-class compiler technology as in the Visual C++® development system. - Applications can be optimized for speed and size and in many other ways to improve performance even more.
- Make your applications and components thread-safe without the rigors of manual thread management.
- Increase development speed and productivity with IntelliSense® technology. On-the-fly syntax and statement completion using features such as Complete Word, Quick Info, and DataTips®.
- Easily create a broad range of reusable COM-based components, including ActiveX® Controls as well as middle-tier and server-side components.
- Use your Visual Basic skills in the Microsoft Office suite and in third-party applications that license Visual Basic Applications Edition.
<B>Easily create data-centric applications</B>
- Deploy the freely redistributable Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) as part of your application and get full compatibility with larger SQL Server databases.
- Quickly develop rich data forms, or use the new integrated Report Writer to develop sophisticated, hierarchical reports, all with drag-and-drop ease.
- Create reusable data access components using the new Data Environment for use across multiple projects, in other development tools, or on the Web that automatically take advantage of data binding.
- Build a wide variety of applications for the mobile user. Write client/server applications that work with databases whether or not they are connected to a LAN or to the Web. Visual Basic 6.0 now supports the Microsoft universal data access architecture with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) version 2.0.
- Achieve a new level of productivity when working with hierarchical data with the enhanced FlexGrid control. Easily display master-detail data in a way that allows you to expand, collapse, hide, or show information.
<B>Increase efficiency with integrated Visual Database Tools</B>
