From the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ Visual Basic Developer Center] website: "With Visual Basic, you can create applications for Windows, the Web, mobile devices, and Office on the .NET Framework". Visual Basic .NET makes it easy to create Windows form applications quickly and efficiently. The language is object-oriented and has unique features to speed development and deployment.

Visual Basic .NET, like C# and other .NET languages, runs on the Microsoft Common Language Runtime VM.

Not to be confused with Visual Basic, the original pre-.NET, implementation, which has only a passing resemblance to VB.NET.
