Language overview
VB6 programming language
VB 6 (Visual Basic 6.0) is the final “classic” Visual Basic, released in 1998 within Visual Studio 6 for rapid Windows desktop development. Its drag-and-drop form designer and event-driven Basic syntax let even novice programmers build GUI applications quickly, a strength that keeps many legacy apps alive today. While VB6 applications still run on modern Windows systems, it's considered obsolete technology, and Microsoft has long encouraged migration to .NET alternatives.
