Is Visual Basic A C language?
Why are C and C++ programmers so contemptuous of Visual Basic? I've used both C and VB a lot, for years and years and years, and it's "horses for courses". If you can do it in VB, then do it, it's good. But there are some things you can't, so use C or C++. No single language is the answer to every problem.
Reply:No It isnt, but you can still get C++ which is like an upgraded version of C from microsoft. Pay though :-)
Reply:Nope it's the basic language.


I don't think Microsoft does C anymore, just C++.





Check out these tools and tutorials that you can find here on just about any language, well not quite :)

Reply:Visual Basic is BASIC, Borland does "C," but I don't think you can download the language, legally.
Reply:No no no, it's soooo not C. C is a programming language, Visual Basic is a child's toy.

Reply:No, Visual Basic is not a member of the C/C++ family of computer languages.





If you want a Microsoft C compiler (and you seem to want one), go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ and click on the "Download the Free Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition" link. A C++ compiler can also handle C code.
