Hi

 

Visual Basic on its new avtar VB.NET like other .NET framework languages (C#.NET, VC++.NET, J#.NET) has to be compliant with CLR specification. The requisite files for VB.NET are within the CLR as mentioned below.

 

Visual Basic Runtime MSVBVM60.DLL - NT 4.0

Visual Basic Runtime MSVBVM60.DLL - Win2k

CLR Runtime MSCOREE.DLL MSCORLIB.DLL - .NET

 

While, till vb 6.0, VS IDE is an integral part of Visual Basic, it is no longer so from .NET era. You can write your VB.NET code on notepad and compile it using console.

 

Hope this clarifies your query.

Any program you write in VB.NET will require a lot more than those two files to run, you should really have the whole .NET framework runtimes (21meg) installed.

RE: Divil's reply:

 

 

I agree with you. My reply to Avvisoft was specific to vbruntime as we have in vb 6 and how it maps in the CLR.

 

For any .NET based program to run, the basic necessity is the CLR (read .NET framework) to be installed which is distributed with the application either in Full version or in control version as the case may be.
