Visual Basic Tutorial - Running your Project

Running your Project

See, its not that bad, is it?! Now for the moment of triumph. Save your work, and click the Run button on the top toolbar (this looks like a blue 'play' button). After a few seconds, you will see your form appear in front of you, just like any other window. You are now in what is known as run-time; this is when your VB application is actually running.

If you want, you can enter your name in the textbox, and click OK. However, nothing happens! That's because so far you haven't actually written any code, which will tell Visual Basic what to do when the button is clicked. This is what we will do next.

Click the Close button on your form, and you will be returned to what is known as design time, i.e. when you are designing your VB application.

James first started writing tutorials on Visual Basic in 1999 whilst starting this website (then known as VB Web). Since then, the site has grown rapidly, and James has written numerous tutorials, articles and reviews on VB, PHP, ASP and C#. In October 2003, James formed the company Developer Fusion Ltd, which owns this website, and also offers various development services. In his spare time, he's a 3rd year undergraduate studying Computer Science in the UK. He's also a Visual Basic MVP.

    You may not be able to comile your code into an executable that would be portable, but your code can be copied into notepad files and kept for later use/reuse.
