Hi.. I've decided to teach myself Visual Basic. An old Microsoft Press book that I have states "Combining the proven capabilities of the Basic language with visual design tools..." etc. Does this mean that I can use old Basic commands (for example CLS, and IF..THEN, etc...I've programmed in GWBasic and Quick Basic) in the code boxes of Visual Basic, or does Visual Basic have it's own library of coding commands? Some of the examples the book uses do not look familiar. Is there a good book that discusses just the commands for Visual Basic?

Appreciate any advice you have,
Thank you

Visual Basic is entirely different from GWBasic and QBasic. VB is one of the excellent languages of the V GL(Fifth Generation Languages). It is event driven programming and it can be run on Visual Studio 2005 on WYSIWYG(What you see is What you get) Environment. I appreciate you interest in learning this great language.
