Visual Basic 2005 (VB 2005 Controls & Components, Tools & Add-ins)

Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 (MS VB 2005) 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 2005 IDE with a variety of VB 2005 add-ins and VB 2005 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 2005 downloads from other companies or other developers to act as a VB extension to their Visual Basic 2005 IDE.

The versatility of Visual Basic also extends to various forms of Visual Basic 2005 compatible software components. VB 2005 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 2005 components that can help a developer add many hidden features to Visual Basic 2005 applications running in the background. These non-visual components are commonly available as a VB 2005 library, Visual Basic 2005 Class library or as a Visual Basic 2005 component.

An example of a visual VB 2005 control is TeeChart for .NET, a VB 2005 ASP.NET control and a VB 2005 WinForm control enabling you to add complex VB charting and VB graphing functionality to your latest Visual Basic 2005 project. A non-visual Visual Basic 2005 component example is a Visual Basic 2005 .NET Class 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.
