While the above steps define the working of the initial version of VB, its workflow varies depending on the version you use. For instance, if you use Visual Basic .Net, its implementation in Visual Studio is similar to BASIC language, with added syntax elements and features stemming from Object Pascal and C language. The VB code is compiled into the object code and then coupled to parts of your application to create a .exe file. This file can run independently without needing a Visual Studio environment, just like any other app on your machine.
