Microsoft Programming Languages? Visual Basic, Visual Studio.NET, etc. Please help?

JackD asked:


I use to program in Visual Basic 6, however three to four years ago I stopped. I haven’t kept up w/the latest technologies and over the course of the past few weeks (I’m returning to programming) I’ve noticed several new options. Visual Studio use to be a compilation of all the Microsoft programming languages bundled in one package. Is that still the case w/.NET ? I haven’t seen Microsoft Studio other than as individual packages that are language specific. I’ve always wanted to design software for the web and I came across this product labeled Visual WebGui that uses WinForms w/Visual Studio, but again I haven’t found a Visual Studio. Am I wrong? Please help me understand the differences between Visual Studio from 2000-ish to the new Visual Studio w/.NET, and if you’re familiar w/web development, please help me understand ASP.NET and Visual WebGui. If I use Visual WebGui is it (client, not development) Windows specific whereas ASP.NET isn’t? Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Round without using round command in visual basic?

Dan asked:


I am in a very basic computer programming class. We are currently using visual basic 6.0. My teacher assigned homework to create a program that would round a number without using the actual round() command. He mentioned the Mod() command but would not divulge anymore information. Can someone suggest how this could be done? Thanks to all who respond!
