Microsoft Visual Basic is a programming environment used to create graphical applications for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 is the current release.

This is a series of lessons and examples on how to design applications and create computer programs using both Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (using the Microsoft Visual Basic side of the environment).

Windows Controls Applications (Applications That Demonstrate The Uses of Controls)

Control-Based Applications Simple Calculations Elaborate Calculations
Boolean Algebra
This is a small application that can be used to check the result of a a Boolean operation. This version includes only the AND and the OR operations.
Danilo Pizza
This application is used to explore the fundamental characteristics of radio buttons and check boxes. A clerk uses radio buttons to select the size of a pizza (small, medium, or large). Some check boxes are used to select the toppings.
Pledge Distribution
This application uses three up-down controls that each holds a percentage value. The values are used to calculate a proportional value that is pledged in a fund-raising for three schools.
Car Inventory
This application explores the characteristics of a track bar, also called a slider control.  One track bar allows the user to navigate from one car to another. A vertical track bar allows the user to show other pictures, if any, of the car.
HTML Body Tag

This application shows an example of visually creating the attributes of the HTML's body tag, mainly the colors.

Progressive Clock
This application simulates a clock. Each part (the hour, the minute, and the second) of the time is represented by a progress bar.
Time Sheet Calculations

This article presents two techniques of evaluating the overtime: on a weekly basis or on a daily basis.

 

Elementary Addition
This exercise applies the characteristics of a label to assist you with performing elementary addition.
Elementary Operations
The application is made to assist an elementary or primary school student perform some arithmetic operations including the addition, the subtraction, the multiplication, or the division.
Factorial, Permutation, and Combination
This application demonstrates the use of the button control of Microsoft Windows. It does this while calculating the factorial, the permutation, and the combinatorial.
 
 

 

Simple Interest I
This application calculates the future value of a loan using its present value (the principal), its interest rate, and its period (the period represents the number of months).
Simple Interest II
In this application, we use two date picker controls to let the user select a range of dates. We use that range to calculate the number of days that have elapsed and can be used to evaluate the age (number of days) of a loan.
Compound Interest
This application calculates the future value of a loan depending on how often (the frequency) the calculation is made (monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually).
Payroll Processing I
This sample application demonstrates various features of the text box. It reviews the textual sides of the control. It takes advantages of its different properties such as its string and the text alignment.
Payroll Processing II
The month calendar control is used to assist the user with selecting a range of dates, from one starting of a month to another day of either the same month or another month. In this application, we use it in a payroll example.
 
 

 

Topic-Centered Applications

File Processing

GDI+

ADO.NET

Loan Preparation
This is an example of saving values to a file stream and retrieving them when needed.
Solas Property Rental
This is an example of serializing an array or items. This example uses binary serialization.
Sales Report

This example explores various aspects of Microsoft Visual Basic, including its own support for file processing through its My namespace.

General Applications

 
Color Selector
This application reviews the simple characteristics of a monitor pixel. It shows how to set the color of a pixel or how to retrieve the color of a pixel.
Weekly Sales
This is an example of a vertical rectangular chart. To draw the rectangles, we use simple solid brushes.
Yearly Sales
This is an example of a vertical rectangular chart. To draw the rectangles, we use hatch brushes.
School Enrolment
This is an example of drawing a pie chart in GDI+.
Rotating Circles
This application experiments with the techniques of drawing a circle in GDI+ and the .NET Framework. The application uses a timer to continuously a few circles on the screen.
