I have the newer (and better) version. You can download the whole Visual Studio at the place where I got it. Click here to get it.

... not really great programming language, for a begginer I would start with gamemaker(www.yoyogames.com), has a great help file and is simple to use

...Really? Microsoft Visual Basic is just like basic, with tweaks to add special Subroutines that do stuff like open a window, add a text box, button, etc. And I found BASIC very easy to learn. As a matter-of-fact, I am working on an 'ible for it right now.

I have visual basic, tried it, can't make a thing with it! (try to make a game with it :P), and gamemaker is easier but reaaaly powerful if you use dlls, and there is is a very life community at gmc.yoyogames.com, I could NEVER find help for visual basic(and I do have darkbasic, but I can't see the connection between the two)

For games, try MS Visual C#. Awesome language, C# is.

What version do you have? I have Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express, as well as Visual Studio 2008. Awesome help file, learned a lot in the first 2 days of using it. I always found Game Maker a bit challenging. Also, you can't make a game in Visual Studio/ Visual Basic. It was designed for Windows Forms. As far as I know, you can't load Sprites onto it. But thanks for the dll tip. I now know that GM uses C++.

gm doesn't use c++, it has kinda the same syntax, but when starting with gm you should start with the drag&drop functions, after you master that its quite easy to start scripting in gm, just find a nice tut on the net(I can't remember which version I had :p)

it uses GML(GameMaker Language), which is similar in syntax to c++ but a hole heap easier

Hmmm... Where can I find a tutorial on GML? I'm guessing it's object-oriented as c++ is.

yes its extreme object-oriented, and for some tuts to get started:Here

haha at the beginning i was like whatttttttttt? but then you said in other words it makes programs so i was like ohhhhhh haha
its a program to make program, so you can make a program that make program that make program that make program that make program that make program that make program that make program that make program [...]that make program that make program that make program .
But can that program make a program? Because that's the only reason I would want it.
I don't want that many programs made, only one less, so I'll look elsewhere.

Sorry, but this is utterly useless random screen shots. At least provide a "Hello World" example. Even better, how to develop something remotely useful. Say, drag a button and edit box from step 2 onto the form on step 3, how to add a callback to the click event to display the contents of the edit box. Something to get people started. Further, these days Microsoft has made available 'Express' versions of Visual C#,C++, and VB that are .NET orientated. Given they're free, more people are likely to experiment with these than the aging VB 6.

Note it says (PART 1) i have a hello world tutorial coming soon. This as i said in the intro is just a basic layout to tell you what's what. Yes this is a program that makes programs.

It would be helpful when you make the next instructable to add a link to it in the previous one, at the end. Nice instructable.
This looks like its going to be a good concise introduction to VB, however if you keep each part this short its going to take you a lot of instructables to complete the set.
