What You Need!
You have no business being here if you are not a Windows user.

if you don't have it already.
Hey, the Community version is now free!
Using Visual Studio
To create a new project: On the Start Page of Visual Studio,
click New Project.
Select Visual Basic and Console Application (for our purpose)
under the .Net Framework header.
Give the project a name. Click OK.
A default module with Module1 as its name gets created;
You can rename it -- right-click on the name from the
Solution Explorer panel -- if you feel like.
To create a new Module file: click Project, Add Module.
Select Module, give the module a name and click Add.
To create a new class file: click Project, Add Class.
Select Class, give the class a name and click Add.
Running Visual Basic Codes
To make sure your code contains no errors and see its output before you get to building
it, set a breakpoint at the End Sub statement in the main module:
Click on the left area of the "End Sub" line to highlight it;
click Debug at the top of the window, Toggle breakpoint;
a red dot appears on the End Sub line.
Press F5, (click Yes) to see the project run to completion - assuming there are no errors.
A new shell is created that shows the result of your code.
Alternatively, click Debug >> Start Without Debugging (Ctrl F5)
to see your output.
If you have multiple modules with Sub Main();
Click Project >> <ProjectName> Properties...
and select the module you wish to run as the Startup Object.
