Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 (MS VB 2010) allows Visual Basic programmers to create Windows applications for their end users fast. Visual Basic developers can extend the standard functionality available inside the Visual Basic 2010 IDE with a variety of VB 2010 add-ins and VB 2010 tools. The extensibility of Visual Basic software is one of the main reasons it has proved to be so popular with .NET developers, as Visual Basic software engineers can find VB 2010 downloads from other companies or other developers to act as a VB extension to their Visual Basic 2010 IDE.

The versatility of Visual Basic also extends to various forms of Visual Basic 2010 compatible software components. VB 2010 controls can be used to create feature rich Visual Basic user interfaces on forms and Web pages for Visual Basic apps. These Visual Basic UI controls are augmented by non-visual Visual Basic 2010 components that can help a developer add many hidden features to Visual Basic 2010 applications running in the background. These non-visual components are commonly available as a VB 2010 library, Visual Basic 2010 Class library or as a Visual Basic 2010 component.

An example of a visual VB 2010 control is Spread for Windows Forms, a VB 2010 WinForm control that allows you to add both Visual Basic datagrid and Visual Basic spreadsheet functionality to your latest Visual Basic 2010 project. A non-visual Visual Basic 2010 component example is a Visual Basic 2010 compatible product called IP*Works! that allows you to enable functions such as: sending email, transferring files, managing networks, browsing the web, consuming web services using Internet protocols such as: FTP, HTTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, LDAP, DNS, RSS, SMS, Jabber, SOAP, WebDav, RAS, XML and more.
