Welcome to Visual Basic 6.0
Visual Basic (VB) 6.0 allows you to quickly create
professional applications for any 32-bit Windows operating system.
Released in 1998, and available in three editions (Learner, Professional
and Enterprise) it became the most widely used programming language in the
world due to it being easy to learn and use.
How to get Visual Basic 6.0
Unfortunately it is not possible to buy VB6 from
retailers anymore, this is because Microsoft has replaced Visual Studio
6.0 with Visual Studio
.NET, which includes an updated version of VB - VB .NET. As this
version is very different to VB6, many people still use VB6 as their
programming language of choice. If you are a user of VB5, migrating
to VB6 is very easy as VB6 is an updated version of VB5. Migrating
to VB .NET is more difficult as there are many changes.
The best way to get VB6 today is to buy a second
hand copy - eBay is
probably the best place to try.
Microsoft currently still supports Visual Studio 6.0. The
latest service pack (SP6), can be downloaded from here.
