  3. Agenda • Scene setting • The Common Language Runtime • The VB.NET Language • The .NET Framework & applications

  4. Where did we get to with VB6? • Millions of developers worldwide • The productivity tool • VB6 = Language + IDE + Runtime • Runtime deployed “everywhere” • Support • Extended (paid) phase: 2005 to 2008 • Runtimes (OS shipped) unaffected • VBA unaffected

  5. Consistent API availability regardless of language and programming model Visual Studio, .NET Framework, Common Language Runtime Different Tools RAD, Composition, Delegation Stateless, Code embedded in HTML pages Sub-classing, Power, Expressiveness Different Languages VB Forms MFC & ATL ASP Different Libraries (API’s) A fragmented platform Windows API

  6. Where are we with VB.NET? • .NET Version 1.1 • Separation of runtime, library, language and IDE • Server 2003*, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98 • 90 million downloads from Windows Update • SDK, Redistributable (23MB), Service Pack 1 • Dates: 2000, 2003, 2008, 2013 • Version 2.0 on its way…

  7. And where are we going? Builds on the .NET Framework Well-structured programming framework for Windows Continued commitment to backwards compatibility

  8. Agenda • Scene setting • The Common Language Runtime • The VB.NET Language • The .NET Framework & applications

  9. Visual Basic C# C++ .NET Assembly Metadata Compiler Compiler Compiler Code (CIL) Common Language Runtime

  10. Metadata Code (CIL) Base Class Library Type Definitions Classes Fields Methods .NET Assembly Common Type System (CTS) Params Events … Common Intermediate Language (CIL) Metadata Int16 float string Type References Code (CIL) Int32 double object .ldstr “Hello World” Assemblies Modules Methods Fields Classes … Common Language Runtime

  11. .NET Assembly Metadata Code (CIL) Common Language Runtime Common Language Runtime (CLR) Verified? Base Class Library Support Permitted?
