What is Visual Basic 6.0?

Visual Basic 6.0

Visual Basic is a name for a family of programming languages from Microsoft.

The final release of Visual Basic was version 6 in 1998. And it is called as Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0).

On April 8, 2008, Microsoft stopped supporting Visual Basic 6.0 IDE. 

The Microsoft Visual Basic team still maintains compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications through its "It Just Works" program on supported Windows operating systems.

In 2014, some software developers still preferred Visual Basic 6.0 over its successor, Visual Basic .NET. Visual Basic 6.0 was selected as the most dreaded programming language by respondents of Stack Overflow's annual developer survey in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
