Visual Studio.NET
is
Microsoft's integrated development environment
for producing programs.
It can be used to create programs written in
Visual Basic.NET,
C#,
Managed C++,
J#
and JScript.
There are many ways in which Visual Studio.NET makes programming easier:
-
It does syntax checking as you type.
-
It provides help about the identifiers that you are using
as you type them (called intellisense).
-
It provides a help system (which besides other things
documents the FCL).
-
It provides wizards that automatically generate the code
of typical programs (including a wizard for generating a GUI).
-
It has a built-in debugger.
-
When using VB.NET, it usually adds the end of a statement
after you have typed its start.
