where can i download visual basic?
do u have to pay for it?
plz help,
thanks

You have to pay for Visual Basic yes. You can buy it in a store. We can not give you a place where you can download it because it's against the forum rules, such is asking about it too.

Yes, you have to pay for it.
Go to a computer store and buy it
By the way talking about illegal stuff (you asked where to download VB) is against the rules...

kk, dint no it against the rules coz fort maybe dere was a freeware version of it or sumat...thanks neway

actually there is a free version. It is called Visual Basic Express. But you can't compile anything with it (aka: you can't make programs, you can only run code from within Visual Basic). Also, MS stopped providing this version for download, but maybe you'll still can find it somewhere on the web.

how much does it cost??

Oh btw theres a similar program out there called QBasic 

I get free software from my university from Microsoft which Rock0rs my sock0rs

Qbasic sounds good, i recently (just now infact) installed openoffice its nice

lol, in that case: I heared that GWBasic must be pretty good also





Now the serious part

About that free Visual Basic version: like I said, there once was a free version. However, I thought it was called Visual Basic Express. I seem to be wrong though. However, I can't recall the full proper name of this free version (where you couldn't make EXE files, it is a limitation), but _maybe_ it was: "Visual Basic Control Creation Edition". I'm almost sure that MS doesn't provide it anymore though.

But, Visual Basic Express is also free. But is something different then what you'll expect. It is based upon the .NET framework and the proper name is: Visual Basic Express Edition. Because there is a new beta you can download this beta for free. But beware, this is still a beta with many errors!

Don't forget, all microsoft office products have built-in visual basic sdk too
