This includes Windows Forms applications, Windows Presentation Foundation applications, console applications, and class libraries. Each application that you New New S S ave ave Build Build Debug Debug Run Run create is contained in its own project, and project templates are provided to help you get started.  When you create a new project, icons in the New Project dialog box and Add Project dialog box represent the available project types and their templates. The following project templates are available when you open a new project in Visual Basic Express. Menus 2

Dr. Adriana Badulescu Kallas Beginning Programming I Project Templates in Visual Basic Project Templates in Visual Basic  Windows Application Template  Used to create Windows-based applications that run locally on users' computers. The applications can be anything from simple single-window tools like Windows Calculator to advanced multiple windows applications.  WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) Application  Used to create stand-alone WPF applications.  Console Application Template  Used to create command-line applications, programs that run from a Windows command prompt and have no visual interface.  Class Library Template  Used to create reusable classes or components that can be shared with multiple projects.  WPF Browser Application  Used to create browser-hosted WPF applications. Windows Application Console Application  Windows-based applications that run locally on  Are typically designed without a graphical user interface and compiled into a stand-alone executable file. users' computers.  A console application is run from the command line with input  The applications can be anything from simple single- and output information being exchanged between the window tools like Windows Calculator to advanced command prompt and the running application. multiple windows applications. Projects, Forms, and Controls A Form With Controls and Properties  To create your own Visual Basic program, you must create a new project. The Standard EXE project type allows you to create a program from scratch.  Every program has at least one form. All other objects must be contained within forms.  Controlsare the command buttons, text boxes, scroll bars, and other objects that make up the user interface. 3
